Is it offensive to call a black-american, african-american? I don't see how it is. I just think people need to stop running away from their ancestry. I know some Filipinos who do not want to be called Asian anymore because they are from an Island. The true is they are of Asian ancestry and Spanish ancestry. Blacks refusing to be African-Americans while the truth is blacks from the U.S. where african slaves sent here. They may not be of entirely african descent but they do have african blood flowing their veins. Carribbeans, were the last african slaves brought to the Americas so they are still of african descent. I don't see why people want to deny their ancestry. The majority of Mexicans are of a blend of Spanish and Native American descent, how come very few actually identify as being so?
