Speaking of which in my above post, I remember several years ago some crazy female black activist got really upset with a black speaker on a panel because he refused to take the moniker African American. She repeatedly insisted he do so. He repeatedly refused. It really ticked her off. The reason he wouldn't, though he was black, he had never been an American, nor had he ever lived in America! But to her, simply by having black skin he should call himself an African American. People would be surprised how many black Africans who are not Americans hold very different views from African-Americans. They view Afrocentrics, who by the way mostly happen to be African-Americans, as kookoo-clocks. LoL!
I think there was a news story some time ago where some black South African (his race being mentioned to distinguish him from members of the other South African racial groups) was referred to as an African American South African, despite his having no connection with the US--"black" was simply being replaced with the term "African American" whether it made sense in the context or not.
At least it hasn't spread to astronomy yet ("European-American dwarfs" and "African American holes").
