so would Idris Elba be considered African American or Black????HabitualLineStepper said:YouBet said:HabitualLineStepper said:BigRobSA said:
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.
Sorry but you are factually incorrect, the actual definition of African American is "black Americans" who are descendants of enslaved Africans.
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.
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.
Because apparently those that use the term African American want to emphasize their belief that whites belong here and blacks are not supposed to be here?TXAG 05 said:
Why are white people not called European Americans?
Not my belief, but that's the conclusion you'd have to draw about what those who call blacks African American believe.
No, I don't care what CNN or MSNBC said this time

Merriam Webster says:
an American of African and especially of Black African descent.
I think Musk qualifies.

Habitual wrong per the norm shocking!
African-American is pretty clear. Americans who immigrated from Africa. Your democrat friends were also pretty sure blacks should be slaves. The rest of us don't agree. It was wrong. It's also wrong to call native born black Americans African-Americans when they've never been to Africa.HabitualLineStepper said:YouBet said:HabitualLineStepper said:BigRobSA said:

It's like saying they're Americans*
No, they are just Americans. When will democrats finally accept that blacks live here now?
No, I don't care what CNN or MSNBC said this time

Mexican Americans come in all shades. Not all of us look like we just came out of working in the fields
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."
Wasn't Juan Valdez Colombian?
"They" would have you believe that.

Speaking of South Africa - whites have more claim to that region that blacks do …. Since we're all going back to tribalism today.

I have a friend at work who is Egyptian. Is he African American? By your standards, no. But he was born on the African continent from people who have been there for several thousand years .....
He would also never want to be called African either. He actually prefers just American.

Actually, it may be more correct to call him "Afrikaan", since he is from South Africa.Good Poster said:
I say yes. First African-American to own a major social media platform. Congrats!
Depends on if he's Dutch or not. He'd likely either be a Afrikaner or a BritonSeMgCo87 said:Actually, it may be more correct to call him "Afrikaan", since he is from South Africa.Good Poster said:

sounds a bit like my colleague from Ghana. He's a cosmetic "fit" for the definition. But he's as conservative as they come except that he is making it a point to make sure he takes advantage of all of the poorly intended programs to get "free" stuff for his well-off children.Arrakis ecologist said:

No. They are Texans

Perhaps we should go back to "colored" somce they're clearly not actually black per se
Funny how people of color is the term de jour. But colored is verboten.

Damn, they're sooooo good with their messaging.
Gosh I hope this is real! If so, Desantis certainly has a strong troll game! An innate knack for making lib heads explode.. . . said:Gov.
