He’s referring, very specifically, to understanding the difference in the US betweenthe terms poc and colored people.
“You’re probably not African American” meaning you’re prob not a black person in America descended from slavery directly impacted by this incident and therefore don’t understand the exact argument here.
He wasn’t saying all black people are African Americans 🙄
Don’t you get it? You can be black in america and not be african american. You can be white in america and be an african american. The term itself doesn’t make sense.
This whole thing is so dumb. Can’t we just stick with white/black/asian/hispanic/whatever and move on? Don’t we have bigger things to be worried about?
