African American - Descendant of African slaves in the United States

- [insert Ethnicity] American - Immigrant or offspring of immigrants from particular country. Usually used when individuals are still holding on to their culture. Can take out the American part.

-Black - African Americans, immigrants from African countries, or multiracial mixes from the first two.

Those are the common definitions that I see being used.
