I just dont get why people still insist on calling black Americans AFRICAN Americans. Most have no bond culturally, linguistically, nationally or religiously to Africans. I dont get why the term African American describes any black person even if they have spent generations in America.

However an Irish American or a Polish American is quite simply an American who is a native of Ireland or Poland.
