The phrase african american is racist, but its the preferred phrase. You are assuming someone is an african immigrant based on the color of their skin. By all accounts, black is a less racist term. Society rarely makes sense.
No it’s not, it’s descriptive. I’m asian American, browns are Latin American, and truthfully whites a European American... is there a problem with words having meaning and then applying those words correctly?
There are black people all over the world. Its racist to assume they have any relation to africa just because they are black. Not all brown people are latin american either. Thats equally racist.
No, but black people have their roots in Africa, it’s not an assumption, it’s facts. It’s very important to understand where you come from. Don’t ever forget your ancestors... as an asian that’s very important. History IS important too!

In truth implying that only white people can be racist is racist.
