Thats a good point.

Next time I take a standardized test that asks for my race (which is racist within itself, don't you think?), I will simply put down European-American. Who's with me?

I made a Philosoraptor meme asking, "If black people are African-American, shouldn't white people be Eurasian-American?"
(I'm part Asian and Part European.)

Also, "African-American" seems more derogatory than "black person". "Hey, guess what? Since your black, we won't call you an American with dark skin, we'll call you 'African-American', that way your only half American, and we can be racist without getting in trouble!"

Corrieri: A test asking for race is not racist. Asking for race doesn't mean the person asking believes one race is biologically superior to another.

AceMailbox167: Then may I ask why they need to ask in the first place? Shouldn't one of the first steps to eliminating racial discrimination is not to ask for race? Maybe I sound crazy right now.
I just find it funny that Black people have this need to be called "African American" by others, yet call themselves black.

XenusianSoldier: I want to look that up.

I think it’s logically incorrect to call a black person African American because American is not an ethnicity and there’s people like Elon musk who are African American and are white and other people who are black in Australia the aborigines

No hate on anybody we should not discriminate our differences but embrace them and I’m not arguing I’m debating there’s a difference I’m sharing my opinion not trying to change yours
