HelpRe: Why.....
in reply to a message by queenv
Slapping a prefix onto a French name does not change the history of the name. I'm not talking about African-Americans being called African-Americans, I'm talking about names like Lashawn being called African-American names

I know you are, and it's been explained over and over to you why it's irrelevant whether or not the names come from Africa.
Basically, you don't like the term "African-American" applied to these names because you feel that the racism that European-Americans show towards African-Americans splashes over onto you as an African.
And the answer to that is still to attack the racism and not the name of the race. The racism is the problem, the name of the race is not.
