I don't really see your point here. Of course, in descriptions, you would go by race (white, black, Asian) and not by nationality. When giving your own heritage, you could say you are of German or Irish or African background.
I really do not understand the title of this thread of "blacks get the benefit of being called African-Americans". What benefits are being received?
