Joe Calzaghe is Welsh, Ricky Hatton is English. These are not the same thing.

    I don't see how the term "African-American" is offensive.

    Would you rather be called:

    a) Black
    b) Negro

    It's just being politically correct.

      Every single race on earth originated in Africa. All of them left, except the bushman. When the blacks returned they killed most of them off and drove the rest down to the Kalahari desert, where they remain.

      A little bit of history (or anthropolgy if you prefer) for you.

          You know scientists are now saying that we all originated in Africa and spread throughout the world? so am I an African-American too?

            No ****ing ****, Sherlock.

            But this doesn't go quite that far back, because then the phrase "African-American" wouldn't differentiate anyone from eachother.

            And when they mean "antcestry", they mean the possible furthest back tracable bloodline. Which is at earliest 100 BC.

              Someone needs to get on the phone to the PC people and tell them we are all now Africans.

                The term black is no more insulting than the term white.

                Do we need to start distinguishing people as Irish-American or German-American?

                Enough with all the PC bull#$%.

                  New York, Paris, Vancouver, Seattle and Berlin are all better in my opinion.
                  I've been to Toronto many times, It's a good city but nothing special.

                    White people are not really White and Black people are not really black. More like Orange and brown.
