It’s like the time NBC kept insisting on calling a Canadian negress olympic winner an “Afro-American woman” during an interview, much to her annoyance.

I've heard liberals refer to melanin enhanced folks from Africa as Afro-Americans. What a bizarre and inappropriate euphemism.

I believe the networks also once called Nelson Mandela an African-American. The media just isn’t smart, but it makes up for that by being very self-centered.

HA! I saw the same thing happen with a Canadian hockey player. (I can’t remember if he was a pro or what or why I was watching it.)

Interviewer: There aren’t too many African-American hockey players, what is that like for you?

Player: I’m Canadian.

Interviewer: is it hard to fit in with your hockey player peers as an African-American?

Player: I’m a Canadian!

It just went on and on, so, so stupid.
