[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are Sub Saharan Africans. I do not identify as AAs, but then I do not think I am an "other" either. The official definition of Black or African American makes me tick the box. My kids will of course self identify as African Americans on any forms, without sharing my reticence.[/quote] The box usually has Black [b]or[/b] African American (as you state). So, it's not a matter of being both, but rather are you one of the other. Is your husband AA? If not, why would your kids be AA?[/quote] Because her kids are presumably born in America and the will be raised in America(I'm also assuming) so this will sufficiently make them African Americans. Just like 2nd generation Asian, Italians, Mexicans born and bred in America all add "-American"[/quote]
