Get the When the sky speak American, the forest must speak Vietnamese mug.A word mistakingly used everyday. Im a white guy, and I could technically be a african american if I was born in Africa, and thus, immigrate to America.
Though black peoples roots are in Africa, they themselves were not born there. So that just makes them American, like everyone else born here.

I have a mostly german/scottish/irish/ french background, my roots are in europe, thus am I european American? Nah, im just American, because I was born here.

Get the Foundational Black American mug.Jewish girl, normally found in the following areas: the Northeast, including the tri-state area (NY, CT, NJ).
Normally shortened to "Jap" this girl dresses only in clothing that costs more than it's worth (ex. Abercrombie, uggs, etc.) and is always getting what they want. The Jap is constantly shopping and buying this overpriced clothing, along with a ridiculous amount of Jewelery and expensive, needless crap. The Jap is known for her very annoying, nagging voice.

Get the jewish american princess mug.A term wrongly used to give identity to, any black person in America.
African American was actually meant to give an ETHNIC identity to blacks who are descendants of (Black) African slaves who were brought to the United States. This term excludes Black Jamaicans, Nigerians, Kenyans, Black Dominicans,etc.....
SOME Whites, and sometimes other non-blacks are afraid to call us black, so in any professional setting they will say African American. Other whites claim it's unfair, because they won't get called European American, but really it's the same thing as calling whites from Italy Italian, and Asians from China Chinese. Hell nobody complains about East Asians being called Asian, even though not all Asians are of the same race.
Most African Americans can not trace our African roots back to any particular country/tribe so Africa is used, as the substitute.
Oh and that guy who said it more offensive to be called AA than N*gger is a complete dumbass
