Technically, yes. Referring to a white person as
"Caucasian" implies they are from European decent.

I say "person with black colored skin." I just cannot refer to a PERSON as "black" or "white" or any color. People aren't colors Their skin can be colors, but they can't.

Who are the "most" people you are referring to? White people? I know for a fact most would prefer to be referred as AFRICAN AMERICAN. At least those self respecting would.

Ummm no they wont, because MOST Black people are not even American. We make up a very small amount of the Black population on Earth.

I say black, but I always feel weird when a black person is around when I do.

I think I'd rather be called North American now. That sounds cute and mysterious.

Canada is technically in the North American continent but I don't think most people would make that immediate connection if you used the term African-American in Canada, you smelly ****.

Well then I made complete sense, you idiot.

One of my friends referred to a person with black skin that lives in Europe as "African American." It's sad, yet hilarious

I guess that sounds better. I sometimes say "the guy with dark complexion?". I work retail and sometimes I have to ring sales through and I'm always stuck in the predicament when I have to ring up his sales.

And for some reason, a lot of people here say "the white guy?" and it doesn't sound racist. But saying "the black guy?" sounds a little... off putting.

But since majority of the members here are black, I would rather take their advice: just say black since they do not feel offended.

That would be like me calling myself "Western European".
Cute? Mysterious? Ch. It just makes you sound... confused.

Okay, but there is nothing SELF RESPECTING or correct about calling yourself African American unless you actually ARE African American. All blacks are not African American so why would they label themselves as such?

Why would someone who isn't African American refer to themselves as such? I don't remember EVER saying that. If you aren't African American then you say what your are (Jamaican, Trinidadian, Haitian, etc)....

How is referring to yourself as black self-deprecating, though?

African-American doesn't make sense. There's nothing African about black people born in the States. They're simply American. Do you go around calling white people European-Americans?
