Can't speak for American English but "black comedy" is standard in British English

At best in the US is a ambitious term and accepted colloquial term refers to comedy by/for AA audiences. At least places I live in the US (MI, CA, NY).

Anyways English is a fun, dynamic, and at the same terrible language. But I'll take your word for British flavor of the English language.

For this, shall we just stick to the English definition? They invented the language. African American Comedy sound more accurate for the other one.
