For many years the accepted (required) and PC word for people of color has been African-American. I believe the term was embraced by them to show 'pride' in their roots, background, history,etc. The American press has been especially attentive in this use.
I was wondering why now I see in all the newspapers that we now have our first 'black' American President. Why not our first African-American President? Why the sudden change of heart? |
