I was wondering what ever happened to “Afro-American”?

I believe most politically correct colleges teach “African-American Literature” in “Black Studies” programs. So it looks as if both terms are politically correct.

Actually, African-American is preferred to Afro-American, I suspect because the term has been overtaken by the prominence of the word “afro.”
