[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]do you consider people from countries in north Africa (e.g. Morocco, Libya, Egypt, etc.) to be African? Is is appropriate for Americans from north African countries to check off African American on a college application?[/quote] Yes. They're on the continent of Africa, so they are Africans. There are... [i]interesting[/i] dynamics at play when people separate northern African countries from the rest of the continent.[/quote] Oops, I didn't answer your second question. No, African American is an ethnic group with its own distinct meaning. If they consider themselves black (and I know N. Africans who do because they have African blood), then check black. But checking AA when you're not is just misclassifying your ethnicity.[/quote]
