    Actually black isn't slang for African or African American...there is no such thing as an African american, or an Asian American, you're American. The current politically correct term is black.

      I remember when "black" was considered offensive, I wonder when it changed? :|

        It must be a cultural thing.

        In the UK, black has been the accepted common term for decades.

        When was it offensive where you are?

          That's the only thing I can think of, too.

          Teehee. "African British"... that's funny, :D

          I live in KY, USA... I don't think we've really ever made up our minds as to which one we want to use. I think it's just that different groups of people have different opinions as to which term they want to use... but to me they're just "black", just like I'm just "white".

            Yeah it makes more sense I think. African American is presuming someone's heritage based on their skin, whereas black presumes nothing. Also, as you said, we say we're white, not European American or European British :D
