I have a friend who is from Johannesburg, South Africa and White. We were at a party and she announced that she had become a citizen along with her sister. A very lefty friend quipped “So, how does it feel to be an African-American?”.
Very funny!
I seem to recall a big stink being made a couple of years ago about a new U.S. citizen from S.A. who checked African American on a job application.
I think the only person (aside from your friend which I think that is sooooo funny) who actually has a right to be called “African-American” is Oboobie! As much as I can’t stand the Marxist snot-rag or his fugly wife, his mom was American - (didn’t act like it - but was American), and his father - or whom we believe to be his father is from Africa (yes the continent, I know) so I guess we can call him, African-American.
I refuse to call the blacks in the US “African-Americans” because if you were here for generations, how could you still be African, and I also hate the term “blacks”. But if we ARE going to play those games I officially denounce my caucasionship and want a new “name”. I am not white because I am not an albino. I am PEACH, darnit, PEACH I tell you. I want a box that I can mark that says PEACH!!!
And if we really want to go “there”, I also want to be called English-Croation-Welsh-Irish-Maltese-Scotish-Italian-French-American! And just because the US Government really ticked me off with a “mandatory Census Paperwork under penalty of law” 30 plus page of nonsense to fill out last month - thats what I put myself down as on it!!! Hope they had fun figuring that one out!
