I am reminded of a spoof MAD Magazine did years ago on labels for news items.

It showed a cartoon “photo” of an assassin pulling the trigger, a man being hit, and a word balloon over the scene with an arrow pointing at the shooter and titled...”Alleged Shooter”.

In the mews media you must be politically correct at all times. I once heard a news chick refer to a visitor to the USA from Africa as an “African-American from Africa”.

Good story, however in that case it was treated as spoof. Today it is considered to be a requirement.

I once heard a news chick refer to a visitor to the USA from Africa as an “African-American from Africa”.

I was a Star Trek fan in my youth (I'm talking about the late 1960s when the original series aired).

In the mid 1990s, when they came out with a spin off series called Voyager, they cast a black actor to play a Vulcan (a space alien from the planet Vulcan for anyone who doesn't know).

I remember that the press kept referring to him as "the first African-American Vulcan."
