That was terrible. I don't mind being PC but there should be a word and syllable limit on these things.

Actually, I absolutely refuse to say "African-American". I don't think I've ever used the term. I am NOT European-American, German-American, Irish-American, Dutch-American, or English-American. A black man in France is not African-French. A black woman in Germany is not African-German.
Some people don't like being called black either. WTF am I supposed to do? Poll every person I ever meet to find out acceptable terms? My solution: I don't make friends with those people. I don't expect others to walk on egg shells with me, I expect the same in return.
