National Lampoon once had a great article on: "Ten Ways to Tell a Kid That His Parents are Dead". One of the ways was to dress up as Santa, show up on Christams morning with social woprkers in tow (to take the tykes to the orphanage) and then explain: "Well, you see Timmy, some of the elves had a little too much to drink on Christmas Eve, and they got a little rowdy. One thing led to another and things soon got out of hand. At that point it was a lot like a scene from A Clockwork Orange ......""I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

I don't mind Afro-American, but I do have a problem with Native American because it lumps together Charleton Heston with Pocahontas, and that's just plain wrong. I'd like to see the term "Amerind" become popular."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

Re: "African American"
Originally posted by Jaguar Warrior
I hate the term "African American."
Firstly, it is factually incorrect. It was coined to describe black people. However, it uses continent of origin to describe race. If you went to South Africa, would you say that the country has some white people and some African Americans? Clearly not, because many of them have never been to America, and certainly aren't American. So would you say that the country has some white people and some Africans? No, because the white people are African as well. And what about a black person who immigrated from the Caribbean? Would he be African American?
Secondly, it is a seven syllable description when one syllable could suffice.
Thirdly, it reeks of political correctness.
Lastly, using it implies that the adjective "black" is offensive and must be replaced by the tamer "African-American." Nobody ever hesitates to say someone is white. Why is the word "black" any different?
1. African American is a term used to describe black people in America. Your South Africa argument means nothing. Also, FYI: Those black people in the Carribean? Guess where they came from...
2. Word Nazi!
3. I disagree that this automatically makes it a bad thing.
4. Things are trending towards more acceptance of the word "black", again, so I don't think you have anything to worry about."I wrote a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth get cleaner?" -Frank Zappa

As for Native Americans, I call them either:
(A) Natives
(B) First Nations
Natives. 2 syllables. Nothing wrong with that, right?
And if you have a problem with saying their native (since they came over the land bridge and all that), why not "Aboriginal"?"I wrote a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth get cleaner?" -Frank Zappa

I had to complement him on his troll because I didn't have a clue how to respond to that without either stating the obvious or countertrolling.

It seems others went for countertrolling. Shame more didn't go for obvious. Nice to have a mix.
