Pretty sure there are a fair amount of black comedians who tell what could be taken as offensive jokes about white people quite a lot. Are you saying it's not right for whites to do the same? What a double standard.

The usage of African-American isn't even correct. African-American should only be used for those who just moved from Africa to America, most of the "African-Americans" in America today have been here just as long as the "British-Americans" (White People) and you don't hear people going around calling them British-Americans do you? No, not unless they just came from England. So such incorrect term as African-American shouldn't even be used when most African-Americans are just simple Americans just like the white people.
