Three reasons why I hate the term "African-American".
1. It's long.
2. People use it to describe people who aren't even American. I've heard people use the term for Nelson Mandela and the black students at Hogwarts.
3. It has no counter part. Nobody refers to white people as "European Americans" or American Indians as "American Americans".
It's "Black people" goddammit!
