I didn't really pay much attention to that just trying to get the point
across. I could have just said not white or not Caucasian or not European.

If I am filling out an application or some other document and am asked to
choose a race between White, African American or Hispanic I know what box to
check, the same goes if the choices are Caucasian, black, and American
Indian. Usually on each there is an additional box called Other NON-White.

Do they call Africans living in Asia African Asians?

How come I am not European American?

What if I lived in Africa would I be a European African or an American
African or even an European American African?

Take my friend who is a Mexican, is he Mexican American? He is actually
Aztec Indian so wouldn't he just be American?

Here's one you wont here, an Jewish American Palestinian.

Point is I think its all a bunch of crap, We spend to much time worrying
about offending that we paint our self's into a corner of PC garbage.

I thought the funny thing was that you came up with "racial" classifications
that all use different basis.

black = color
Indian = country
Asian = continent/region
