Not a troll question. In the States, we're told that we have to call black people African Americans. They always do on television.

What do they call them in the United Kingdom? I've never heard anyone say African Britons or African Europeans before.

"Ethnic minorities" or "the black community"

I personally have dozens of names for them

They're called Blacks, because that is, in fact, what they are.

I prefer the old timey names for them like "Jigaboo"

Also, http://www.thefreedictionary.com/jigaboo

>jigaboo - (ethnic slur) extremely offensive name for a Black person; "only a Black can call another Black a nigga"

PC is so overrated and that was coming from my liberal teacher.

call them black or if their name is alice, call her alice.

We tend to call a spade a spade. So "Black" is fine. If you are an ultra-liberal middle-class PC douche-bag you might say "Afro-Caribbean."

I refuse to call them anything but 'black' because the one syllable appellation is so much more convenient than fucking 'african-american'.

who would have guessed /trv/ is funnier than /b/?

seriously though, if you're talking about a group of black people, and you happen to be around a bunch of black people, and you look completely white (not even a hint of anything else in you) just call us african americans. the only exception is if you grew up in a predominantly black area.

why?

its not to be politically correct. its because it'll get you a few less strange stares and REALLY it'll avoid you getting into a fight or jumped later by the ones that are really too low brow to know when its worth it to fight and when its not.

i gotta agree with you though. im black and i find calling people african american, caucasian, asian american, native american, all very tedious. black white asian indian. so much easier.

I hate the term "African-American"

Most Black-Americans aren't African, and not all Africans are black either.

British people call the indian / pakistani race asians so what do they call the slant eyes? They can't both be asians.

The Chinese are the dominant Asian race in the United Kingdom. So they all get called Chinese unless they state otherwise.

We call Black people Blacks though. Just like they call us Whites.

i thought we called them darkies or spear chuckers? The slants are referred to as bamboo if they're worth a fuck.
Indians are called asians, and pakistani's, are Paki's, or Muzzers
