Isn't that odd. When the black people insist that they're "African-American," I ask them if Americans of Egyptian, Moroccan and Libyan descent should also be called "African-Americans" because their countries of origin are clearly in Africa.

"No! And you're a racist!" is their only reply.

I love it when race-baiting asshats react irrationally to reality.

Wasn't thee a big flack a while ago when a white person born in South Africa insisted on being identified as African-American?

How about this. My fiancee is a premed student, and one of her friends in school is a black woman from South Africa. She's not just black -she's blue-black. She also earned US citizenship. Even though she's African and is now an American, she isn't considered African-American for the purpose of "affirmative action." Needless to say, she thinks the whole thing is a scam.

[I still care]

I seem to remember a while ago a white person from South Africa applied for an "African American" scholarship. The liberals had conniptions over that one.
