If you don't believe that, ask yourself whether you call people Asian, as if the huge proportion of people from the most populous continent on Earth share some fundamental attributes based on the geographic location of their ancestors that are worth distinguishing.

After the last presidential elections, I was always a bit frustrated when Barack Obama was hailed as the first "African-American" President. It's not clear to me what this really means in the first place. But by any logical definition, I can't see how to label him as "African-American". Isn't he every bit as much caucasian?
