  • “African American” is such a weird subset of people. Like, aren’t all humans from Africa? Then why is this term used only for black people?

    Or do they mean to specify the African diaspora caused by the slave trade? But then aren’t we wrongfully including people who moved freely on their own to the US, and those that may even come from other regions?

    I get that the word is basically a synonym for black people but with less attached prejudice. I’m just sad that we live in a world where that prejudice still exists.
