A San Diego-based clothing company has landed in hot water over a photo showing its T-shirts featuring the body of a monkey paired off with a customized hanger depicting the face of an African-American boy.

Do they call black people African-Americans in the UK?

What do the Brits call blacks whose ancestry is straight out of Africa to England?

No, unless you want to get anything from a dirty look to a punch in the nose by the person you're calling "African-American".

Usually just "Black" or "African", in most other cases "Nigerian", "Ghanaian", or whatever country they have ancestry in.
