I Have A Funny Friend

My friend says she doesn't like calling black people black and only calls them "African-American". So I asked her what she calls white people and she said, "white".

So I told her, "then you should call the white people European American if you call the black people African American."

She said no.

What are your thoughts, people of SW? (Not my problem, just a little funny random chat we have, and my responses are joking around as I always do)

Is every white American of European descent?

@MarkPaul i meant it as a joke, but I always thought most white people were European decent.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@LifeisReal Yeah, but even jokes, for them to be funny, have to have some basis in fact.

@MarkPaul what 'whites' aren't of European descent?

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@SW-User Some examples are some people from South America, Australia, and New Zealand.

@MarkPaul true, but the ultimate descent is European isn't it? You've got me trawling my brain now :-D
