Afro-Americans

I was wondering, in Europe do you call black people Afro-Europeans?

 

niggers

 

probably.

 

I used to buy hash off of Africans when I was in Germany. Also, the Turkish too.

 

Yes. Yes we do.
It just makes sense.

 

who in the us has used the term afro-american in the past decade or so anyway? huh...

 

In the past decade?
Did people actually use that word before?!

 

i remember a black teacher using that term back in elementary and we had to do a project on a notable black american...maybe 1993 or so? shes the only one i ever heard actually use it.

and when i was doing the project i used the word afro-american and my mom was concerned that my teacher wouldnt appreciate that, because it was out of date then

no expert on race relations or anything, but from what i understand its a real outdated term

 

Afro warriors attack!!

 

Afro hat!!


Damn, I want an Afro. :leaving:

 

No.
We do still have some individual sovereignty you know.

Here in the UK we do use a combination of words that are similar to that used in the US. In my experience it tends to be British Asian or something similar denoting the different particular groups of people.

wiki:

Afro-American is a rare alternative to the term African American, referring to an American of African ancestry. The term had gained currency by 1890 (never knew that) but was surpassed by other terms, such as "colored". Its former prominence can still be seen in several pop culture terms.

Word origin

Of all the people who migrated to the present-day United States after European discovery, those whose ancestors came from Africa against their will have had the longest and most difficult struggle for recognition of their rights as citizens and their dignity as humans. In all likelihood, they have also been called (and have called themselves) by more different names than any other American group in their search for respectful terminology.

 

in asia we usually call tham prostitutes

 

No.

 

Should Caucasians who emigrate from South Africa to the United States be referred to as African-Americans?

 

what do you call them?

 

South African-Americans.

 

Black people. I've never heard anyone use the term Afro-Europeans.

 

thats because it's sill - just like it is in the us.....

 

I agree. I mean, they're black. But that doesn't make them African.
