____shawnee 4,118 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 If a black person is born in Japan and becomes an American citizen, they are Asian-American then right? Or like So white people in America are European American right? And black people in America are African American. Say if a white person born in Africa, they move to America. Do we call them European-African-American? White African-American? LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyai 4,059 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 You don't get japanese nationality just for being born in Japan. The rules varies from country to country. And you are not using european is not a race... And... well to many errors written there, sorry xD But, for me, at the end. It's the person who feels one way or another.

I don't think this really has much to do with my post... Rather than reductive, I think the race terms are broad, which is useful since America is so diverse... but they can be used reductively... all terms that refer to certain groups of people can be used reductively...

Yes, but since I said US before, the self referred to that. Nah, they just exclude a lot of people who haven't historically been an important part of American demographics. They only acknowledge white North-West Europeans, back Africans, East Asians and Native Americans as well as "typical" Latino people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
