[Opinions] Re: Why.....
She's now saying she is African, so I took that to mean African, not African-American.

Lol, what do you mean now? When did I ever say that I was African-American? Lemme guess, you assumed that didn't you?

No, earlier I assumed nothing. You just said you were black. That could mean African, African-American, or a person of African descent living anywhere in the world. I didn't know. Then later, i.e,. "now", you said "African", and I took that to mean not African-American, because if you were, you'd say, "African-American".

Obviously you didn't read the post. Go read it again. I say African as well.

No, I am not being racist. Thank you for assuming that. Second of all, go make a European American section then. The reason for my comment earlier is because I am tired of people being put in boxes. "Oh, why do you have a white girl name?" These names are stereotypes. I'm tired of hearing that my name sounds "white" and I should have a name like Shaniqua just because I'm black.No, you don't.

Okay, I don't. What's your point exactly?
