Well here in the US we call people of color as african americans but what if you in like lets says Britain and you see a person of color what is he then? Since the term African American only refers to people of color in the US. Can't really say black since a lot of them find it offensive if it comes from a white person such as myself.

"Black" is not politically incorrect in any country that I know of, though it is not the preferred term anymore in the United States. I have heard "African-Canadian", but in Britain I only heard "black". In a lot of European countries the majority of black people are immigrants or the children or grandchildren of immigrants, so usually they are referred to by their country of origin (eg. French-Senegalese).
