Spot on with everything, as usual. However, I do differ in that, while I'd probably use Black in most situations, I'd absolutely defer to somebody's wishes... I.e., if a Black person asked me to use the term African-American instead, I would. But yes. I have a friend from South Africa currently living in the USA who's white. She and my Black friend from Zimbabwe occasionally have "African bonding" sessions, which definitely surprised some people at the beginning of the year. But for most African-Americans, their heritage is so long ago anyway...it'd be like me identifying as Irish-American even though my ancestors came over starting in the 1600s.
