    “African-Americans Gone Wild” or "People of Color Gone Wild " just don’t seem to have the same ring to it, I guess. I’m pretty sure almost any other term you might use would be frowned upon.

      Not all black people are African-American or even African or American, you know? I’d be way more irritated if someone called me African-American than black, since one of these is true and the other simply isn’t.
