If you call a black person "African American" trying to be all politically correct and idiotic, then you're just screwing yourself over. What if they're not from Africa? What if they're Jamaican? Oh shit son, you're going against what you originally intended. What if someone is born in South African but white, then they're African American but they're white. White people aren't even Caucasian unless they're from Irelend where the Caucus mountain is located.

Indians and Middle Eastern people are Asian. Just like the gods of weeaboos: the Japanese. So if someone says, "But they're not REAL Asians, douchefag" then they're the douchefag.

In short, the best way to refer to someone is their color. srsly.

I agree. I actually have a white boy from South Africa in my History class, so he's technically African American.

That's because people who try to be politically correct are scientifically proven to be at least half retarded.

actually I'm very certain that caucasian refers to the region of caucasia which is basically the area around the caucus mountains: south western Russia and the area north of the middle east

I blame the whiney ultra-liberals for the "too politically correct" problem.

There's nothing wrong with referring to someone as white or black- you're just describing people based upon their skin color. As long as you don't try to categorize or separate people based on their skin color, there's no problem with calling someone "white" or "black."

Calling darker-skinned people ''African'' Americans, is like calling all white Americans ''European Americans", except "European Americans is a more correct term. The Indians are the only original Americans.

People are still calling them Indians? You're aware that India is a country in southern Asia, right?

BEN BEN BEN jk lol
If this was YouTube, this would be a THIS TOPIC WILL BE FLAGGED topi- *shot*

But seriously, political correctness is the failboat of the millenium.
Let me say that again, if a Democrat tries reading this topic:

Political. Correctness. Is. A. Failboat.

And to mess with this topic even more: I'm white, but I wish that I was Japanese... *shot again, this time by Ludwig, who keeps accusing me of posting Rickrolls*
