[Monique20335]

The best term in my opinion to refer to someone who is black is African American; it doesn’t sound so blunt, and doesn’t emphasize race. For example, some people may say ‘That black woman over there is the president of this company,’ as oppose to ‘The woman who is African American is the company’s president.’ The latter sounds a lot better because it puts emphasis on what she does, as opposed to her race. I am a black American, so when someone outside my race refers to me in terms of race, African American sounds better. To someone who is a mixture of black and white, the best thing to say is that that person is of African and Caucasian descent or heritage.
