I personally refuse to use any term popularized by Jesse Jackson.
Last fall, I was hospitalized for an ongoing problem. The male nurse who was charged with admitting me asked some personal questions, one of which was “What ethnicity are you?” “American,” I answered. He persisted: “But what kind of American?” “American-American,” I replied.
I guess he realized he was going nowhere with the interview, so he scribbled something on the form and left the room.
I always check the Native-American box since I was born here. I’m not an immigrant.
my wife does the same
when will those people who call themselves African American unuderstand they are about as African as me.
Next time you ever hear the term then ask what country.
I asked two black guys which country they were from and they said America, I asked why are you saying to me then African American to which they replied, because we come from Africa
I asked what country.
No answer they had no clue what countries are in Africa or who in their family came here hundreds of years ago .
Also I point out that whites too come from Africa as well as blacks of which those who say it too look all confused and even had some say no whites from from Africa
When asked my ethnicity I alway respond “I am a Texan.”
