Yeah, the main thing. Because clearly the root cause of racism is the specific ethnic group names we use to identify people.
Maybe 3 in total are from Africa. Call them what they are. Americans. They want to be identified as a separate population, but when they are treated differently it's racism?
Umm... yes. When you discriminate against a specific identified racial group that would indeed be racism. Kind of by definition.
So? If it happened in one's grandparents, grandparents lifetime it might matter. Simple fact is we have a specific group of Americans that will cry racist, but refuse to even identify as American.
What was the second word in that two word phrase you wanted people to stop using?
I'm pretty sure it looked a lot like "american".
