Why is "African-American" used instead of just "African"?
The Dildact wants to know why "Asian" and "Hispanic" arent "Asian-American" and "Hispanic-American".

Modificato da FoMan123: 1/17/2013 1:10:03 AMOnce you break it down it's easy to understand. Some terms describe a person's national/regional/continental heritage and origin (for example, "African"), while others describe a person's race (for example, "Hispanic"). Some terms describe both at the same time (for example, "African-American"). If you want to avoid offending people, simply refer to either their race or their nationality (depending on the context). Don't try to refer to both unless they do it first. BTW, both "Asian-American" and "Hispanic-American" are terms that I've heard used many times, though not as frequently as "African-American."

3 RisposteActually, Asian American and Mexican American are widely used.

Because African-American is more descriptive than just African? Seems like a fairly stupid question.

African American is referring to the people who came from Africa and live in America. It is exactly how my parents are Canadian American. African American is just for those overly PC people. I call people who have more pigment in their skin black.
