Har, I know/knew a Black Brit here who has had arguments with people who insist she's African American when she told them she's not, she's Black. Or British.

Or when they do it's not newsworthy because Canadians assume they deserved it.

So what do they call a black person in Africa? An African-african? Because just 'african' would seem to imply there are no white people in Africa. Come to think of it, the term 'african-american' seems kind of...i don't know...racist.

There is no particular PC term in Canada; usually people are referred to as being from their country of origin or heritage. In other words, Jamaican or Trinidadian or whatever. The sad thing is, no one is ever referred to as being just Canadian. That's the one thing that's not allowed.

This series of events just happened to me:
Traffic is way lighter than usual. Weird, I think. Walk into a restaurant. It's completely empty. The staff is all at the bar watching a football game on TV. Even the girls. That's annoying, I think. But then I get their attention, get my to go order, and leave. I go out to my car to eat, and browse instagram. Man, a lot of people are posting about football. That's weird, I think. Man, Stephen Colbert is really pushing his post-super-bowl show, that's weird since it's not for awhile yet. OH WAIT. |

An older couple came into the library. Yorkshire from their accent, but obviously not local as they had to ask where the toilets were.
Having suitably relieved themselves, they began the old-person duologue which is basically "say what you see". Not meaning to sound unnecessarily harsh, but I do spend a lot of time on public transport. What made me smile was when the lady saw the seating. "Oooh, look! Little settees!" (note to non-Brits, a settee is a very very common name for a sofa. I know, I used the word until I was about 13) I mean bless her for her excitement and not being able to identify an armchair and all. I grinned until her noisy yap started to annoy me.
