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.
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
The Islander IGs be fukking me up because they all have pictures of themselves drapped in American flags amongst other AA cultural signifiersso 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.
