Today, I became the town racist for saying "black" instead of "African-American". I'm black. FML

NO!!!! You're African American!

That's not fair, not all "black" people are African Americans. I'm Haitian American. Those people are being stereotypical because they think all "black" people come from Africa, when they clearly don't. Like RG3 was born in Japan!

Racism is making a statement about a certain type of people that is unfair. But people have gotten so ignorant that they think calling someone their skin color is racist. I really think that America is the most primitive country in the world, academically.

I hate when people say African American. Because not all "black" people are from Africa! Coming from a mixed race family, my dad was not even black, he was from Spain. And everyone called him African American. People thought he was black!

My best friend is black and he is of Haitian decent. He gets pissed that people call him African American since they automatically assume his family is originally from Africa.

Kinda sucks when you're on the other end of the accusation huh?

No. Do not make this about white people being accused of racism. While it sucks that some Social Justice Warriors will jump at the chance to call a white person racist, this is about the stupidity of such people forcing their opinions on someone they're allegedly trying to support. Its about stupidity, not petty payback or "ha now you know how it feels!".

Basically we are all the same only thing that makes us different is our epidermis people need to look at it that way and stop categorizing everything

That's America for you. You should know better than to not be overly PC and respect everyone's delicate little feelings. Shame on you.
