Pointing out a person true heritage does not constitute racism in my book. When people labeled Tiger Woods as African-American he was quick to correct them listing on his true racial heritage.
African, African-American, Jamaican........who cares. CP Samuels clearly defined his Jamaican heritage so what is the problem? Many Africans will be quick to correct you if you called them Black or African-American. That is their choice. But it does not make them racist against those who do identify with the term "Black" and "African-American?" The answer is "No." Pointing out a persons true heritage does not make you a racist within your own race. Michelle Hill Cleveland REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
