    My beef is with Americans saying “I am an X American” when what they really mean is “I try to LARP as X at times in whatever my American bubble says they do”. But specially with African American. It’s black. Black. Black. Say it with me. Black. No negative connotation (except people’s own insecurities), just a simple oversimplified label like any other of its sort.
