Accepted. I wouldn't have mentioned except that it is true and it was perfectly in line with my point. You don't hear about it much, because I think people like me are tired of the fight. But I'm not from Africa. I don't know from Africa. I'm from Texas. There's a lot of people like me who are really tired of being "qualified" Americans.

As an American of Asian descent (who hasn't found a better term than "American of Asian descent"), I find this interesting. Should I start embracing "yellow"?

Is it cold in here?:
Global Moderator Comment I got some highly practical and constructive feedback about the forum rules for interacting with trans* people and will be editing them soon. It's not too late to contribute guidance or (please please please) bibliographies and links.

Ranging far afield from the comic, but I'll bite once.
Embrace whatever you like. I don't prefer black. I accept it because mo-fos gotta talk about "race," as if such a thing exists. But as it happens, I'm American. Period.
Qualifiers not required.
If you really have a valid political/social context that requires you separate me, and people like me, from the population as a whole, how about "Americans descended from the survivors of our shameful and horrifying slavery period?" Wordy, but it's got a lot of context.
And that's all I have to say about that /Gump
