Don't get me wrong, I'm not against insisting on calling people what they are (A female Congressional Representative is obviously NOT a Congressman, etc) but that's just it... political correctness today isn't even calling people what they are anymore.
The one that grinds my gears more than any other is "African American". This is for a number of reasons.
1) Not all black people are from Africa! Haitians, Dominicans and many other people who hail from any tropical nation are black, light brown or otherwise dark skinned.
2) Not all Africans are black! 10% of the South African population is white while many people in Northern Africa descend from the tribes of Arabia.
3) Black people living in America are not "African American" unless they were native-born in an African nation! I'm Irish. You don't see me going around demanding to be called an Irish-American because I'm not from Ireland. My great grandfather was, not me! So why should I call a black person who's 4th/5th generation or more in this country "African American"? It seems incredibly stupid.
Is it just me? Am I the only one who sees this?!
