I'm not sure what would be best, although I think terms that reference ethnicity and/or ancestry are a start. However, it would be wrong for me to say what you should or should not call yourself, or what you should or should not be comfortable with, so even if I've personally got problems with "black," it's still up to the individual to determine how they'd like to be called.

I do think that we shouldn't slap a ... idk, continental? label on everyone from a place. If I know someone is Japanese, I'm not going to call them Asian, like I wouldn't call a Nigerian person a black person because they actually have a country of origin.

"Black" isn't a country, we're not from anyplace like that. I know some people have a qualm with hypenated __________- American terms as if we aren't American enough, but frankly I'm good not being 'American enough'. But I don't have anything else to be either, so for me, it's just black.

I think the reason it makes me uncomfortable is bexause I'm bothered by broad racial categories in general. I'm for descriptors that individualise rather than turn people into vessels for stereotypes and assumptions. But I know that's pretty pie in the sky, as we live in a world where racial categories exist and must be dealt with, and that's not very well likely to change for a long time.

You're the kind of person that calls Black people from Europe or elsewhere "African-Americans", aren't you.

No? That would be incorrect.
