African-Americans

Yes because every time we mention AA we're thinking of nothing but reparations..

Any time I've met someone living here from S. Africa that is white they will just say they are South African, nothing more. If I meet someone who is black from Africa they will typically say the country (i.e "I am Nigerian" or "I am from Zimbabwe) they do not associate their selves with being American just because they have moved here.

African American implies that you are a descendent of slaves brought over from Africa, nothing more.. so I don't understand why that pisses people off. Big deal if it offends you, and if you don't want to be referred to as that then correct the individual using it as needed.

Who is pissed off?

People seem to get almost offended by the AA American thing otherwise it wouldn't be so much of an issue but it constantly gets brought up.

See it's the little things that keep this world from fully moving forward. Who gives a fuck what you call yourself? You know. Later, QD.
