| Being Danish I wouldn't call a black person neger/negro/nigger, but...well you guessed it  : a black person. Heard of people saying "afroamerican" when it is a black person coming from America, but primarily in public situations like on the News. Privately I hear "black people" mentioned without any bad underlying meanings. | |

Some Americans I know say "African American" even when the person isn't American and has never been to America. I suppose that can also be interpreted as being discrimantory. I wonder how a billion and a half Africans think about now being classified as a sub-variety of Americans?
