ORIGINAL: searching4mysir Just an FYI - "Native American" is an ethnicity, not a question of citizenship of the USA. They can play word games all they want, but that doesn't mean I have to play them too. I was born here, and my ancestors back to the mid-1800s when they immigrated. That makes me less "native" than someone whose ancestors came over in one of the Siberian migration waves years ago? How many generations have to pass before you're a "native"? "African-American" is another "ethnicity" that is nonsensical. Besides the fact that we're *all* "African" in the sense that the species originated there, it's a racist term that ignores the fact that not all Africans are black. "Let's build racism directly into our politically correct terminology."
