Affluent black Africans (Nigerians and a Kenyan) and the daughter of white South Africans are actually why I say "black" instead of "African American" these day

Affluent black Africans (Nigerians and a Kenyan) and the daughter of white South Africans are actually why I say "black" instead of "African American" these days, as both groups objected to the term. The underrepresented groups are correctly, American born descendants of former slaves who are identifiable as black, and Hispanics of darker skin tone. But man, is that a mouthful to say. "a lot of the top schools try to up their racial stats by admitting upper-class Caribbean and African black students" I don't think it's a conspiracy as you're putting it. I think they just happen to come out better qualified for various reasons ($$ helps a lot), and happen to have the correct skin tone to take advantage of any remaining quota or aid social programs designed for the American born descendants of former slaves.
