In the UK, black people are called "black people". Many black people in the UK are from the Caribbean, and they're often referred to as "West Indian". "The West Indies" is another term for the Caribbean.
The white descendants of English people in South Africa and other African countries are called Anglo-Africans. The white descendants of northwestern Europeans in South Africa are called Afrikaners.
A black American in Japan is still a black American, or African-American. Simply visiting an Asian country doesn't make a person Asian. It's almost impossible for a non-Japanese to gain Japanese citizenship, so there's no need for a special term for black Americans (or black Africans, or black Caribbeans...) who are also Japanese citizens. They just don't exist.
In the Japanese language, "kokojin" ("black person") is used to refer to all black people, regardless of national origin. Black people may also simply be galled "gaijin" or "gaikokujin" ("foreign person" and "person from a foreign country").

Its amazing that you say that black people are the ones racist when its been centuries that whites have hated,oppressed, murdered,enslaved, and done anything else inhumane to blacks and its been proven throughout history! Hell in all those early years blacks spent the most of their life just trying to live and breath, and stay out of some ignorant killer white person's way for fear of being killed for no reason, like getting an EDUCATION, which you seriously need! Your question has answered the question I've had for years, do any of the whites that treated blacks like **** for centuries, decades and years we've been on this earth feel any remorse? But thanks to your question I know that its easier for the quilty to blame the innocent to make themselves feel justified in the wrong doing. You're just as ignorant as they come!

You had me until you said Why are black people so racist. It makes no sense with your earlier statements. I am not saying that black people can't be racist; I'm just saying it doesn't fit with your earlier statements. I don't understand why calling yourself African American makes you racist.

I feel sorry for all you guys who have gotten your tail kicked by a black guy, had your girlfriend cheat on you with a black guy, or whatever happened to you that you can't get over blacks. Look, we get a hard enough time in life, what more do you want? You guys are God-less, moral-less, and just plain mean. What kills me is that most whites think blacks are the most racist.
Blind I suppose.
