Get the European-Americanmug. 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.

Get the african-americanmug. The American woman is the luckiest female on earth. Not only does she have her cake, but she eats it too. 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 Rubmug. A diner in Lansdale, PA where kids go because there is absolutely nothing to do. Local people either get coffee or nothing at all and it's a mystery how the diner is still in business. It is crowded with punk kids, weirdos, perverts, gangstas, and hipsters.
John: "It's Friday, but there's nothing to do."
Jane: "Want to go to American Star?"
John: "Meet you at Am Star in 15."

Get the American Starmug. Noun
A noun used to describe that special brand of hypocrisy that is oh-so American.
"There's this very specifically American brand of hypocrisy that I think is quite interesting.
The same people that are fanatical about religion, and think it belongs in politics love the constitution, despite that being unconstitutional.
The same people that spout off their second ammendment rights do not see a problem with the government infringing upon it.
The same people who think they are so free accept that they spend most of their lives in offices or factories just to be able to scrape by financially whilst somebody richer than them profits from their work.
The same people who are perfectly fine with trying young black boys as adults don't think anyone that young could possibly be seen as an adult in any other case, especially when voting or even just having valid opinions."
"Freedom for all except the blacks, the queers, the heathens, the sluts, the Arabs, and the disabled."
