Just Jack Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Some blacks insist: 'I'm not African-American'
Jim in Anchorage Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I don't worry about my Norwegian/Danish/Polish ancestors. Thin lipped honkey cracker is OK.
LeviF Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Unless you moved here from Africa, you're not African-American. In the same vein: unless you moved here from Ireland, you're not Irish-American. Nobody cares if you're of Irish descent. Yes, even on St. Patrick's Day. Hell, especially on St. Patrick's Day.

I alway's thought it would be cool to move to Kenya and insist on being called a American-African.
IDBillzFan Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I thought they were called "colored people."
Jim in Anchorage Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I thought they were called "colored people." People OF color. Get with it.
IDBillzFan Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 People OF color. Get with it. Then wouldn't it be called the National Association for the Advancement of People of Color?
Jauronimo Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I'm going to play this one real safe and refer to them as "Americans who happen to be darker than me, not that there's anything wrong with that" until I've had a chance to talk this over with PPP's sensitivity trainer, Dave_in_Elma.
/dev/null Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I'm an American, an Erieite, a Pennsylvanian, a Virginian, and I haven't quite figured out my current city title. Nobody I've run into knows what somebody from either Virginia Beach or Suffolk should be called, best responses I've gotten are Norf*ckers and Hampton Rodents
Just Jack Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 best responses I've gotten are Norf*ckers and Hampton Rodents combine the two, you're a !@#$ing rodent.
Juror#8 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I'm an American, an Erieite, a Pennsylvanian, a Virginian, and I haven't quite figured out my current city title. Nobody I've run into knows what somebody from either Virginia Beach or Suffolk should be called, best responses I've gotten are Norf*ckers and Hampton Rodents I thought you folks down in Tidewater wanted to be called 'BadNewz,' or 'BadNewz Kennels,' or 'Newport Nightly Newz at 5' or some other such reference to the local crime reporting there. My sister is in the Navy stationed in Norfolk. She seems fond of calling it BadNewz.

Koko78 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I'm... an Erieite, a Pennsylvanian, a Virginian, and I haven't quite figured out my current city title. We don't like your kind around here, boy.* Or maybe we do, I'm not sure. I haven't really been paying attention. *That probably would read better if I knew how to type with a rednecky toothless cousin-humping dumbass racist accent.
