Question

Can I list myself as a Dixie_American? At least i am from the south U>S>A>?

Answer 1

Blacks do not call themselves Afro-Americans. That's what white people started putting on apps. I don't consider myself an Afro-American nor do I consider myself and African- American. I was not born or raised in Africa nor have I ever been. My mother or father has never been nor have their parents or the ones before them. That's just another way to let others know they are referring to a dark skinned person.

You should be able to call yourself what ever you like.

Since their are fewer white people from the south, then there are people in the country, you are a minority too. Sign up for you Affirmative Action job right away.
