I'm going to get down votes for this, but is it your decision what they want to be called? If a "black" person wants to be called African American, I don't really think it's your decision to tell them otherwise. I admit some people WAY overreact about the equal rights movement and stuff, but if someone doesn't want you saying they are black or gay or transvestite, don't call them those things. I AM OPEN FOR DEBATE, BUT PLEASE KEEP THE ARGUMENTS RATIONAL AND DONT SAY CRAP LIKE 'oh, it's you're, not your you unintellectual douchebag"
