Yeah, my sons and I recently discussed some of the problems with calling people African-American or even Hispanic-American. I noted that we don't call whites "European-American" -- a term I am tempted to start using ironically, in part because I increasingly object to surveys that ask if I am white or some long list of other labels, none of which is really accurate. There is never an option that really fits me or a means to write in "German-Irish-French-Cherokee ethnicity and American citizen by birth" or something. Signed: European-American with a dash of Cherokee who finds the entire system offensive.
