People should be called what they want to be called, not what someone else decides they should be called. People should not be called what Jesse Jackson decides they should be called, however. He made it up and decreed that it should be used from here on out. I have always refused to use that term.
People should be called what they want unless it is ridiculous. AA is as ridiculous as “European American of Caucasoid Descent—A People Who Invented the Modern World”
