[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an Egyptian friend (middle eastern, not black) and she marks "African American" on everything. She concedes that she's more African than most blacks in America. America has a problem with race obviously. [/quote] On one of the threads on DCUM, I mentioned that Egyptians were Africans but was told they were actually Middle Easterners as an ethnicity.[/quote] I think Egyptians are North Africans not "Africans".[/quote] North Africa is in Africa. You can tell because it's called North AFRICA. MCPS offers these choices: white, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, black or African-American, two or more races, American Indian or Alaska Native, native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander. What is the most appropriate choice for somebody from North Africa? Beats me. Does MCPS offer "other" as a choice? Also, as a PP said, Hispanic/Latino is an ethnicity, not a race. MCPS should not conflate the two categories.[/quote]
