Is it more offensive to use African American over Black?

[krolin]

just out of curiosity does that mean it's offensive to call American people of Asian descent Asian? as far as i can see it's the same. Racism isn't fixed by changing terms or removing labels, the public needs to be educated.

Well said.

What's annoying is when people ignorant to what racism really is tries to pretend like they know what they are talking about. There really is no opinion of what racism is. It's a word which has already been defined. The misconception comes from the morons who don't do their research and who tell other morons what they think the word means. The morons who listen to the ignorant brightly display their intelligence as well as spread it to other morons who will listen.
