It's Time to Let Go of 'African American'

As a European you're an outsider looking in, telling us what our American experiences are.

Consider that your POV might not be objective fact.

Edit: As one counterpoint fact, in my city there are 2nd-generation Italian-Americans who speak English with an accent. Born in American hospitals, raised in our public schools, and don't have the local American accent. "There's nothing Italian about them" is overreaching.

I have "italian american" and "german american" family. And my POV is of course not objective, that's a weird thing to say. It's my opinion, what else?
