MODERATORS
"African-Americans Gone Wild" or "People of Color Gone Wild " just don't seem to have the same ring to it, I guess. I'm pretty sure almost any other term you might use would be frowned upon.
Not all black people are African-American or even African or American, you know? I'd be way more irritated if someone called me African-American than black, since one of these is true and the other simply isn't.
Yeah, that’s why I added the “People of Color Gone Wild”, since the other isn’t really all-inclusive. Race is so weird to talk about in the US though, it’s like no matter how you talk about it as a white person, you’re stepping on somebody’s toes somewhere. It’s like we can’t even discuss anything without the terminology itself becoming an issue, which just sort of derails any other conversations you might be having. I get why the topic is necessary in some cases, but it feels like it needlessly complicated things at times.
