[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Person of color here.  Yes, it is relentless and exhausting.  It's just part of life. Also agree with op than many on this board have the luxury of telling you you are the problem.[/quote]

By "person of color" you probably mean not African American and not white, so yes, many people will assume you or your immediate ancestors came from another country. It's ok to acknowledge that some people groups have been here longer than others. [/quote]

I'm Black, but thanks Karen.[/quote]

African or ADOS? I don't what "Black" is. [/quote]

New poster here

Black is a racial construct. The whole premise of this thread is the appearance of a person causing casual racist comments And micro-aggression. We are not talking about ethnicity. And if we were, there’s more than “African” or “ADOS” That would be under the umbrella of Black.[/quote]

The umbrella of "Black" particularly with a capital B doesn't need to exist. If you are African, just say African. Black used to imply ADOS only but now meaning has been confused so it is best term is not used.[/quote]

NP and someone saying they are African covers a huge swath of cultures, ethnicities and races.  Saying Black identifies how someone is perceived by others.  Africa is a continent with many races.  [/quote]
