Do you say African-American or black?

I was having a discussion with my sister about what we would prefer to be called. I understand some of you may call us derogatory terms, this conversation isn’t really for you.

I had awkward conversation with a white lady & for some reason she wanted to tell me her daughters favorite doll was "African-American". & i was like...dolls dont have nationalities :? Lmao thats like saying barbie is French canadian. Its weirdly specific & presumptious.
@DarlingSelah I hate when people go out of their way to “prove” they’re not racist and it’s usually under unnecessary circumstances. This one customer I was helping at work felt the need to express to me that her best friend was black when she was a kid. It was completely irrelevant to what we were talking about and weird.
@Stark i think theyre just racist, insecure, & neurotic.
