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.
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?
