Why do Rush and so many others use the term? I honestly can think only gutless and/or stupid. But Rush is neither of these. If John Stossel can avoid the term, why not Rush?
Why do you not use term African-American? I use Black, Brown, White, etc...
This Finnish-American is deeply offended...
Well. That’s a question you would have to ask RL.
Unfortunately the term African-American is now so deeply embedded into our culture, society, and lexicon it is now widely accepted. Not that I approve it.
There are many things now culturally acceptable that I don’t like including tattoos, piercings, wearing your trousers half way down your rear end....many many many things about the current culture. I could go on all day on this topic.
