Get the European-American mug.While the term 'African American' may seem nothing more than a PC term for 'blacks,' it does carry a signficant amount of social implications. It is inappropriate and quite uneducated to assume that an entire group of people should be degraded to the description of a color, namely black. The term is referring to an entire race of people who have historically undergone discrimination, oppression, segregation and slavery in THIS country for over 3 centuries. Thus, the label 'African American' subsequently emerged as a response to the overwhelming amount of racism still prevalent in modern society. It attempts to erradicate previous racist notions that non-whites are somehow (even biologically) inferior to whites. It also attempts to provide them with a certain heritage as well as a respect for a socially disadvantaged group who still face de facto discrimination. (side note- I am not black or African American, I am actually a member of a privileged race, for those of you who think only a 'black' person should give a damn about the subordination of others, and the violation of our Constitution's equal protection clauses- see 14th amendment. Feel free to look up any terms you may be confused about- in fact, they designed wikipedia for ignorant individuals such as yourself)
Educated people, or perhaps only Harvard grads, do not refer to others in terms of the amount of melanin in their skin. They have moved beyond, or evolved so to speak, PAST the concept of race. Connotating 'African-American' with one's actual descent is not only irrational, but clearly misses the point. Caucasians are presumed to be of European decent, wheras the majority cannot afford a passport to travel outside of the U.S. border.

The American woman is sensitive but strong; emotional but highly empathetic; has unlimited freedom but also receives polite chivalry from many American men; she can express her opinions freely. The American woman evolved from strong pioneer women, majestic slave women, women who bravely crossed dangerous borders to get here -- American women evolved from the strongest of strong women and that's why you both admire and treat American women with the respect they rightly deserve. American women, all of them, are amazing.
Oh that's Hannah. She's an American woman, don't mess with her unless you want trouble. Also, I want her to have my babies.

Get the American Soup mug.A relatively obscure sex act that combines a creampie with a David Foster Wallace reference. The man ejaculates inside his partner (the creampie) while yelling "'Victory for the Forces of Democratic Freedom!" This is a reference to the David Foster Wallace short story Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, and its meaning can be as obscurely ironic as the partners decide. The American pie combines irony, patriotism, and sex in a heady mix that's not suitable for everyone.
Q: Are you and Charlie doing anything special for the Fourth of July?
A: Probably go to the parade, watch some fireworks, and finish the evening off just the two of us, doing an American pie.
