Sidenote on a pet peeve of mine:

[ QUOTE ]

as an african-american who attended one of these schools i can assure you that this is true. i attended a private school where the student body was ~9% african-american,

Why do you identify yourself as an African-American? Unless you were born in Africa(ignore if you were) then you're no more an African-American than I am an Irish-American.

The term is such politically correct BS that ignores that
A) Black people come from places other than Africa
B) That if you were born in America, you're an American, period.

i reference it as such b/c that is how it is commonly referenced. also, the term black includes various caribbean nations which do not fit into the same ethnicity as me.

edit: agree w/jay and nt

edit2: feel the need to reference it b/c of the history of african americans in america. do i really need to explain any further?
