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.

I know this. They should all just be called Americans. We had a discussion like this in one of my classes, and came to the same thing. If you can't trace your heritage,and you live in America, you should just be called "American".
