[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the distinctive term makes sense. My parents were immigrants, but I think there's clearly a different experience between people who willingly CHOSE to come to the US, vs. people who are here and part of the system through no ancestral choice. I think a "new" term to refer to these persons and American experience is important.[/quote] That’s actually a really clear and precise way to describe it, PP. I think I get the distinction now. Thank you! -OP[/quote] ADOS has been used and I think that I prefer to keep it clear that my ancestors were enslaved here. That said, there are black people who have been in what is now the US without enslavement in the US. My friend’s ancestor came from what is now Madagascar to Hawaii before the US stole it from the Hawaiians. There were small groups of free-born African sailors in Polynesia on British and French merchant ships. How do we count her? Maybe she’ll embrace BIPOC? [/quote]
