Is anybody else sick of political correctness? Or has anyone else noticed how people always say African-American, etc. and never black?

For example, look at this guy:

He’s Joesph Marcell, you may recognize him as the Butler, Geoffrey from the Fresh Prince. Some people think he’s Africa-American, and those people are idiots. Firstly, he was born in the Caribbean, and second, he’s a citizen of the United Kingdom.

I think people really need to loosen up when it comes to “Race classification”, or whatever you want to call it. Who cares if someone is considered Caucasian, African-American, Asian-American, etc.? It’s the persons themselves that matter, not where they’re from, or what they look like.

People who are easily offended by racial stereotypes have much bigger issues they should deal with rather than bitching all the time about someone classifying them by the color of their skin.
