The amount of videos on social media of black Americans who have never left the country attacking white South africans by saying they will never be African because they are not black.
You can't claim a nationality for your self it just does not work like that

of all the things to get outraged about at the moment, this is pretty low on the agenda. It doesn't even apply in the UK.

Why do you think Biden has an interest in Northern Ireland? The Irish American vote is huge, most of these people have never set foot in Ireland but they are very proud of their roots

Tbh I thought the term "African American" came because people were uncomfortable with the word black?

the same is true for Scottish Americans who come over here to soak up their ancestors history, find out what clan they are attached to etc.
Heritage, no matter how far back it goes, is a very big deal |

We had an exchange student for a year in my Uni residence who had chosen to do his year abroad in Scotland because …. His family had Irish roots on his father’s side, but there were no exchange places for Irish Universities so he decided that Scotland was “close enough” . |

Yeah but like the dated awful word "coloured" people eventually realised it's actually ok to actually say BLACK , it's strange that African American is still used . Obviously it's no where near as cringe as saying "coloured" though.

Also using Scottish and Irish heritage is a very poor example to back your argument up, neither is a continent with Iver 50 countries hundreds of traditions, religions, cultures, tribes ect and to just generalise Africa as black is a very bad thing to do

You know my methods

the crux of your thread premise is based on tiktok clips and
"I don't understand the obsession with the Americans calling every black person African American? " there is no obsession and they dont So really i am not sure what can be said? |

And you've researched their life and ancestry to assess they're not, in fact, African American?

It’s just another band wagon that people jump |

Most of them have no history of ancestory because records of slaves were never kept and you don't see all white people called European Americans or Asian people Asian Americans, 90% of America is not naturalised Americans so if they want to start calling one race from the continent they think they are from then they need to be doing it to all races or stop and the Americans need to stop acting like they have high authority over Africs when they know nothing about it

Calling all black people African American is not generalising Africa as a black only continent ?
