If I were king, use of the otherwise divisive race-pimpster term 'African-American' would be limited ONLY to the miniscule few for whom it's accurate.
Any pretenders co-opting that descriptor would be subject to a day in the public stocks. *
If you're born here and don't want to be an American, then either STFU or GTFO.
*(yes, if I were king, we'd have public stocks, among other things ;-)
I once worked with a white guy from South Africa who was a naturalized U.S. citizen. He used to joke that he was a real African-American.
