Student suspended for describing himself as "White African-American''.

This is a dumb issue to make a fuss about. It will get worked out.

Haha, man if that story is actually true it's one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Almost mind bogglingly stupid, like something you'd hear on South Park or something as satire.

It's ok, they were cops who just heard the words 'African-American' and put the smack down.

A fricken American, huh?

Yeah, he's fine calling himself that. I think it's cool.

I remember someone from South Africa, an older white guy, telling me that he is African American.

I was also told that, these days, Afro-American is used to describe someone who was born in Africa who later became a citizen of the US. I did some searching on teh internetz and I couldn't find anything except an Urban Dictionary reference to the Afro-American thing.

A black person, in highschool, told me the she doesn't like being caleld "African" American. She likes just to be caleld "American". She finds it retarded that there has to be a differentiation because no one says "English American' or "French American".

How about something like, "I'm an American with French ancestry.." or some shit.

BLACK! and stroooong!

I am guessing, that it was one of those things how white people took everything from black people and now they want their name too.

...is my guess.

You forgot to mention she is European, as saying she's just American would mean she's Cherokee, Aztec or Inuit.

Don't be silly, Europeans aren't getting generalized, they are categorized by their specific country, seeing as European people...at least the white Europeans are the most valuable people in the world.

can believe someone would get suspended just for describing themself as black and white. lol ok getting suspended for saying your male and female in class ok maybe thats a little different but still funny.

Another example of how f***** up the school system is.
