What's even more hilarious is to watch U.S. news reporters try to figure out
what to call non-US blacks.
Recall a US. reporter interviewing a black Australian in the Olympics -- and
asked how he felt being the first African-American to win a gold medal in such-
and-such. He responded "I'm not African-American" and got a completely
dumb-founded look by the reporter.
And I suppose the term would have to be "African-North-American" from
anywhere here in Latin America.
