Uh, an American, personally :? If someone's black, it doesn't say much about them other than their heredity, but if someone's American, you at least get a broad sense of their experience and culture.

But that's probably just me.

So, not an African American? Just someone of African or other 'coloured' descent?

I guess it depends on how offensive you are. Personally, I don't use any kind of group term because there's not any difference in my mind.

Well anyone near England would work. A Spainyard or Frenchmen would get the job done.
