I know you said you go by nationality but she is an island girl. I really wish AAs had our own visual symbol we used to differentiate ourselves from other black folks.
Fixed.
And this why I KEEP saying that AAs need to have a pan ethnic movement like other minoirty groups like the Kurds, native Americans, Berbers or Palestinians to specify our ethnicity, history and culture.
And I only go by nationality for Africans.
The Islander IGs be fukking me up because they all have pictures of themselves drapped in American flags amongst other AA cultural signifiers so I look at last names, pictures of cultural foods, birth place, and often on twitter is where you will see them tell you what they are

I know you're going to disagree 100% with this but this is why I argue even more that AAs should mostly go by African-American(not the red bolded dash) and not "black" when labeling us as an ethnic group. Knowing who is who gets harder because AAs online/social media don't bother to specify but just say for example "black girls" while including other black groups. So then everything gets mixed up.
I actually agree but I see immigrants Blacks using AA as a label at times even. Just a tricky situation all around.
Which is good imo.
For assimilation yeah since they'll be absorbed in a generation or two but its just a weird dynamic.
No I mean them calling us AA to further specify our ethnicity.
