To Anne
Drexxx is right,it’s the only way I know,but until then African American will have to do.But relax in a few years I’m sure they will change it again
he has to take a DNA test in order to know it.
“African American” is not an ethnicity. It’s just VAGUE, just like saying a white American’s ethnicity is “European American”. Africa is a continent consisted of many countries, with many ethnicities. He is black, but which black ethnicity? Kenyan, Nigerian, Sudanese, Ethiopian, Haitian, Jamaican, etc? What is he?
ummm…these you listed are nationalities…not ethnicities…just because one is from jamaica, haiti etc. does not necessarily mean that they are black…do some research please
