the greeks and romans, must be some desire to conect with the roots of the west or something lol
I'm one of the most pale white people on earth bahaha I have an moon-glow instead of a tan. Lol
Like in South-Africa you can call a person of colour a Coloured and he won't mind. But try that in America
yeah PC culture really has been brewing in the states for a while lol
Here in America it was a popular thing to have "sun-kissed" looking skin (people ALWAYS overdo the tan, unfortunately) and they wanted blonde hair, parted a certain way, and blue eyes. Was a common desire in my school anyway..
i remember long while back how americans freaked out about defining blacks as black, and coloureds as coloureds lol, was really strange that, i can agree with that
sounds like what the furher wanted
Indeed lol
lol
is it okay to even call blacks blacks in America? Do you say African American?
Comes down to subversion
We used to say African American, but some people are still offended by that because they consider themselves fully American
yeah, I'd agree. Why not fully american.
I guess it might be just to narrow their race down
I just consider people what they look like..Black, White, Brown..
See that makes sense, it's the same how i consider myself african, born and bred here too, fed by the food that was grown in this soil... i can relate to black americans regarding that. I am called european but I have no european passport and not even recognized by eurrope as european
i consider people as Nice or assholes
Black americans are so far removed from Africa... Makes no sense to call them African American
@Apollo What do u consider me ;)
yeah well colour pretty straight forward
@WuldGoGayForLauren don't ask questions you don't want the answer to
@spursfan82 It's not exactly to call them african, more just to refer to their race as black
@Apollo ;-;
@WuldGoGayForLauren ooohkay
african refers to a geographical location, black refers to a colour.
Well they use it to determine race I suppose xP
So if you go to the USA and you are white individual born in Africa what are you classified as?
Don't tell many black people that here..that they're so removed from Africa that they shouldn't Identify as African-America they'll cry or get angry. Some people are fine with the classification, some black people are not 😛 @spursfan82
it's an inaccurate way to determine race thouhj
I am thinking like a drunk person without being drunk. i think is just because i aint use to be out of school.
African, if you are born in africa, you are native.
native (nāˈtĭv)►
adj. Existing in or belonging to one by nature; innate: native ability.
adj. Being such by birth or origin.
adj. Being one's own because of the place or circumstances of one's birth: our native land.
You're still an American native if ur African American, you just come from a black descent.
It's not a Nationality it's the thing you fill in by the race category on a questionnaire.
no i disagree by definition, african refers to someone born in africa, if you born in america you are american lol
I guess it can be a nationality too
I am African then, i was born here so i will say i am African on the YES form and sue them for discriminating, i am unemployed seeing that i am done with school.
