    Don’t you get it? You can black in america and not be african american. You can be white in america and be an african american. The term itself doesn’t make sense.

    This whole thing is so dumb. Can’t we just stick with white/black/asian/hispanic/whatever and move on? Don’t we have bigger things to be worried about?
