blue stars. give them all to him.
Yes, since it's an immigration status and not an ethnic one.
People that use "African-American" in lieu of the more correct "black" are stupid and part of the problem.

We were watching a past episode of Top Chef last night and one of the white guys was saying how he would love to win so that he could be the first Mexican-American winner.
White as white can be (I assume he is of pure Spanish descent although I don't know) and i wonder the outrage that must have caused for some people. Lol.

Sorry but you are factually incorrect, the actual definition of African American is "black Americans" who are descendants of enslaved Africans.
Why are white people not called European Americans?

Not sure if trolling. My black friends prefer black because they aren't from Africa. I think the term black is generally becoming more preferable in the common lexicon as well.

He was from Austin
Fired for being sexually inappropriate with female staff members.
So he has basically gone the way of Paul Qui, the other Top Chef winner from Austin, in that TC no longer acknowledges them
Gabe. Yes he was guero. But so is my mother in law and she's Mexican AF. Her kids are gueros too.
Mexican Americans come in all shades. Not all of us look like we just came out of working in the fields

At this point, I treat people that use the term AA the same way I treat people who wear masks.

Had to explain this to a friend of my son's mom.
Her: "He doesn't look Mexican!"
Me: "We don't all look like Juan Valdez, picking coffee beans."

I used to work for a basketball traveling circuit company (did gate, setup, etc) during the summer while in college in early 2000s. It was interesting- whenever the race of someone came up... There was a large chunk of Black people that did not like being called African American. It was a guessing game of what was best to say the random times skin color of someone came up in conversation with guests.YouBet said:HabitualLineStepper said:BigRobSA said:

If everyone were the same color humans would find other ways to discriminate.
It's almost like it is an innate human characteristic.

I stopped using AA 3-4 years ago. I use the term "black" when that even comes up which is pretty rare.Aston04 said:I used to work for a basketball traveling circuit company (did gate, setup, etc) during the summer while in college in early 2000s.

Sorry if the facts hurt your feelings. African American has a specific definition of who the term is referring to. I understand facts aren't the most accepted things on these boards in most cases.
Lolwut? If that's a fact, then it's based on nonsensical logic, but I guess that's par for the course for a Democrat.HabitualLineStepper said:YouBet said:HabitualLineStepper said:BigRobSA said:

How much longer does this nonsense term only apply to black skinned Americans whose family tree has already been in America for 200 years? And are you black? Are you saying black Americans that don't identify with that term are racist and/or opinions don't count?
What about the vast majority of Hispanics who abhor the term Latinx which was recently made up by the left? Does their opinion of a term arbitrarily classifying their own existence not count?
The term AA is a social construct that is completely illogical. At least use a term that makes sense and is relevant.

African Americans (also referred to as Black Americans and formerly Afro-Americans) are an ethnic group consisting of Americans with partial or total ancestry from sub-Saharan Africa. The term "African American" generally denotes descendants of enslaved Africans who are from the United States
Generally but not always, correct?
