Sir....
I stand and applaude your choice of words:
“...I am also classified as a minority (American of African Dissent)...”
I am of Scots/Irish and Ani-Yun-Wiya descent, but I refer to myself as American with no hyphen additions.
I am so proud to see another American doing so...
Again, I applaude you...
I think you meant to say “American of African Descent.”
