Re: African-American section
in reply to a message by Kitandkat
I really do understand your concern, seeing racist comments sucks. I have been on this site for a long time and they have always been here, long before African-American was a category. You’ve created a correlation in your head that people seeing the category as “African American” is making them say racist crap. Unfortunately, they would anyway.
Would you feel better about the category being called “Black American”? Because these names definitely deserve their own category just as any other culture does, and your harping on the word Africa doesn’t really make sense to me, so I’m wondering if you think changing the terminology would be better.

That's cool. I just wanted to voice my opinion, that's all. I wasn't really looking for someone to change it. Rachel Shaina just assumed it.
That's because you asked me what I wanted. I was just stating my opinion, but you assumed that I wanted something else. You were pushing for something eles, so I answered your question.

When I say "What do you want", you could say "I just want to state my opinion!" "I just want to be angry for no reason!"
Don't pin dumb nonsense on me.

Actually, you are getting angry with me. I was just voicing my opinion, but you interpreted it as anger. Sorry you thought that.
