Good for her , but why on earth do they call them African American, they are not.
I know whites who are from Africa and became American.
Blacks here have no clue about Africa.
I asked one couple what part of Africa they were from and they couldn’t even name a country there.
Extremely annoying- my family is from South Africa and I have explained this at work and I just get this blank look on people’s faces. The headline sounds ridiculous and the meaning becomes convoluted. Should I be called European American? European-African-American. At least we could then differentiate between Mexican-American and Central American American and not conflate statistics in every state in the US where the FBI’s top ten are all considered Caucasian or white and they are all from South of the once US Texas - Mexico border.
I have done that a couple times. What was funny one time where I used to work was a conversation that included a dude from Congo. He was indignant at the term AA. We also had a white guy from South Africa. He called himself AA and one of the black Americans tried and call him on it. If not for being so stupid it was funny to watch.
“I know whites who are from Africa and became American.”
I used that on a job application. HR was clueless when I went in for my interview.
