....and another thing

[geoffgulley]

So there's an ad (psa) running about black history month. It's has the British woman who stars in Coldcase (she uses an American accent in the show). She talks about the first "African-American" opera singer, her achievements and so on... So here is a Black British woman saying "African-American"... Would that make her "African-British and/or African English"? Last time I was in England I never heard that term. Nor have I heard "African" attached to any other black person in any country other than... drumroll please....Africa! Anyone one care to help me on this one?

Re: ....and another thing

Another dumb politically correct american term. That all it is. For some reason in america, people here like to add there heritage to the term american. It not just african american either is irsh, italian, greek, mexican and so. Personally if your born in a country that is what you are. Not some derviate of it.
