Couldn't quite belive this!!!

People are WAY too sensitive about race is the issue. A few months ago I went to visit my native New York with my Argentine partner, and had to explain so many things to him, like don't call black people black, you have to say african american, etc. The phrase "Latino community" in the US refers to puerto ricans, dominicans, cubans and mexicans, but not Argentines, Chileans or Uruguayans, etc. Stuff like that is unthinkable here.

I don't think any of my black friends care that I call them black and most would look at me funny if I started calling them african americans. Of course, your millage may vary.

What a ridiculous way of thinking....

How you are going to call then a USA born of European ancestry? European American? or an USA born of Asian ancestry? Asian American or BTW an USA born of South American ancestry? South American American?....what a joke.

...or BTW a USA born of South American ancestry? South American American?...

In Texas they just call them "Mexican".
