Last night I was hanging out with some friends and a few people I'd met at the bar. We were all yammering about stuff and I told this amusing little story about my son's confusion when I explained the difference between a black person who is African-American, and a black person who is actually African, such as this particular friend of mine (who was present.)
This woman became "offended" at this point....despite the fact that my African friend said "Uh....he's right." She said, "It doesn't matter...I don't appreciate that language."
I have to say...I found this highly amusing. It beats racism...but is an issue in itself.

Now I'm trying to get my head around 'Native Australian', 'German-Australian', 'Greek-Australian'...

I couldn't resist...
