We'll let Maddox be the final word on the term "African-American"

AAs indeed refers to African Americans. I usually use "blacks" and at times "Blacks." I agree that the AA term is misleading in regards to today's American black population. Blacks that have recently come here from Africa are very, very different, culturally speaking, than the indigenes. Recently, these poor kids from Sudan were mercilessly teased at the public schools here by our local blacks. I worked with a black South African last year and he was absolutely shocked at the "culture" of our urban black population. Mostly he was shocked by how many fat people he saw. He couldn't understand.

Pretty much the same way you found out - a few years ago, different group of people, but similar conversation which piqued my curiosity and led to a web search for more info. I remembered the family name but had to google for the blood disorder name this time.
