Help[Opinions] Re: African-American section
in reply to a message by queenv
It's my business for the same exact reason. You said it is a fact: where is the evidence? Show me a poll, or some proof.

There has been no poll for over ten years. When there was one, more wanted to be called African-American as opposed to black than wanted to be called black as opposed to African-American, and the majority didn't care. But that was ten years ago, so no telling what's changed.
What's incontrovertibly true is that African-American is a more commonly used term in 2018 than is black. Not that it's any of your business.

I'll say this again. Where is the proof? Until I see that, there is no base to your statements.

What difference does it make? "African-American" is a commonly used term in the United States, and there are few African-Americans objecting to it. The point is you don't get to dictate what they are called.

You are avoiding the fact that you don't have proof. And get this: I.AM.NOT.DICTATING.WHAT.PEOPLE.SHOULD.CALL.THEMSELVES. I am stating my opinion. Dictate is a very strong word, as you should know.
