Latinos only rate being labeled "hispanic"? It seems to not matter the roots of a black as the term African American is used by anybody black where ever they may be from.

The other origins do not seem to need the classification of Italian American or Irish American or German American etc, etc.

So why do blacks need to use "African American"?

When I fill in questionnaires or surveys and they have the race boxes that include African American or Caucasian.....I always write in American after Caucasian....hence Caucasian American!!! Why not?

btk....PS to stop the allegation of racist onslaught there is no racial implication or intention in my post WHAT SO EVER!!
