Blacks have always had a problem making up their minds about what to be called.
Over my 60 years, I have seen them go for Negro, colored, black, and now this STUPID and ridiculous term of "African American", a term that I refuse to use.
I had roots in Europe, but who is called European-American?

To be fair, black people were never allowed to define themselves until recently. This is a recent development.

" I had roots in Europe, but who is called European-American?"

No, but if you live in a trailer park and drive an El Camino with an astro-turf bed liner and you lined your driveway with old tires cut in half and painted white I guess you could be referred to as "Euro-American Trash".

"White Trash" is so guache...
