African-American. What the hell is wrong with saying someone is black? I don't mind being called white.

Notwithstanding that it could lead to African-African.

That was rather amusing .

Trudeau interrupted a Woman asking  a question and told her to use the word "Peoplekind" and NOT "Mankind" to be all inclusive . He then went on to speak to someone else , and not allowing the Woman to finish off her question

I think that it was Lenny Henry who went to the USA and was referred to as "Afro-American" and he had to tell them that he was actually

" British -Jamaican" and nothing to do with either America or Africa .

I can ignore a lot of them, but I really don't like the attempts at erasing women.

 

"People with vaginas", or any sh*t like that, I find abhorrent.  I'm not a feminist by a long shot, but the thought of trans people erasing the identity of women and reducing them to their sex organs, simply because the existence of "real women" upsets them, really irks me.

People with periods.

Chest feeders.

 

I don't know about "woke", but:

 

Trope.

 

Lateral Ableism.

That was Matt Walsh on an AMerican tv show called The Dr. Phil Show. He has an amazing documentary film out called "What Is A Woman?" that everyone should see...

 

 

Yes. That's him. Thanks very much. I didn't know who he was.

I think I've mentioned this before, but I was watching the news on the TV in the US some years ago when Blacks were rioting in Paris. The US newscaster was reading the copy and said "African-Americans are rioting in Paris...", and you could immediately see the look of horror on her face, as if to say "what idiot wrote this copy?".

That is incorrect  , they were peacefully protesting , they weren't rioting .

  The people rioting were some other people, probably Trump supported , MFGA people

Right, it becomes confusing, misleading.

I had an acquaintance who described a Black African person as African American.

And of course Elon Musk is accurately described as an African-American person as he is originally from Pretoria, South Africa.

But nobody actually thinks of Musk when they say African-American.

Even still, it doesn't really upset me.

In 2004 a US presidential candidate's white wife, who was born in Kenya, said she was "African American."  The Black folks didn't like that.

I'm surprised the Kiwi team All Blacks hasn't been forced to change their name.
