Elon is white. African Americans are black. Either way,what it means is jyst this: A South African born businessman has just bought Twitter.In this case, a white man.

So far in my time on the internet, since 2011, i've always seen only black American citizens referred to as African Americans. So its feels odd to see a white person referred to African American, you know?

Exactly my point.

For those who haven't been on the planet that long:

The term "African-American" was coined when the term "black" was considered bad (it's not, it's an objective description, but whatever).

If you are offended when a white person from an African country who comes to the U.S. is called "African-American," you...are...a...racist, for interjecting skin color where it doesn't matter.

Africa is not a color.

Some countries in Africa are black countries, not all. Though South Africa is getting ruined.

I know a Doctor - same - from South Africa - White as snow - but lists as African-American. 100% valid as he is from Africa.
