She says, "Oh, nothing, I have just never heard an African-American with an English accent before."
He looks at her kind of funny and says.....
"I'm neither African or American.....I was born here in the UK!"  |
It just shows how dumb people are and how they do not even realize that being Black and African-American are totally different things. One is a race classification, the other is a ethnicity. You could technically racially White and be African-American. Ask Charlize Theron who was born in South Africa but lives in L.A.. I do not know if she has citizenship in this country, but if she was she would be an African-American. Only people that do not know try to say something is wrong with calling someone "Black."
