Americans are stupid. When did all black people = African Americans?
UFC fighter Rampage Jackson had an interesting insight on this, but I'll have to paraphrase: "I'm black. Screw it, I'm black; I'm done messing around with 'African-American' and that. The other day, I met this guy, he was white. He'd immigrated to the USA from South Africa. So he is an African American. Here is this
white guy who is an African-American. So I'm black."
It's also gotta be weird in the UFC, because there are so many black fighters who are not African, and not American. French, Canadian, British... but do any of those nationalities identify as African-Canadian, African-French, and such?
