    “Black” just works as a better term. It’s hilarious when people refer to black folks from other countries as “African American.”

    I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone offended by being called “black.”

      “Black” being considered offensive was a thing in the late 90’s, but it didn’t last.

        Yeah I remember an anecdote about two Americans on a beach referring to a black British man as something like “African American British” but it was even so long ago that I’ve forgot what they said exactly.
