A black one yes but just an American all the same. I do not go around specifying the coutry of origin for all whites do I. Why is it only those with identifyable racial features are tagged with another contry before saying they are American. ie chineese-American, Mexican-American? You call that PC. I don't.
thank you Rant done | was that extra "e" in Chinese intentional? :) __________________
