My ftiend was born in Morocco, an African country,and came to the US to attend college, and ended up joining the US Army while here and getting a green card. He plans on applying for citizenship as soon as he is legally allowed to.
While in class, he was asked to describe his heritage. He described himself as African American.
A girl from his class took offense to it because Moroocans tend to be lighter skinned and she told him Africsn American means black.
He told her that not all Africans are black, and that not all black people are from Africa and pointed out the fact that she had said her family were descended from Austailian Aboriginals, meaning shes not African at all. He then called her racist toward non-black Africans because she effective said that they aernt true Africans because they arent black.
