This all started out as an honest question that I really didn't worry too much about when asking because I didn't think it was really offensive.
Initially, I asked this:
To "black" people: Are you offended at all when people are PC and call you "African Americans"? Would it be ok or better to call you "black"?
Ok, now... The people of most skin pigment weren't offended at all and actually gave me good answers which are helpful and I thank them.
The white people.... my lord. Most of them were so angry! At what? I didn't do anything to them or anyone but they are fuming, saying I'm stupid (or the most stupid on here).
Now, I was reading the answers and I thought to myself that a piece should be done on this for a national magazine. I can't help but think that the white people must actually be racist. Why would they get so upset??? I hear on cop shows people being called both and on the news, it's not mentioned but they just do generalizations. Whatcha think?
