I was watching Dancing with the Stars with my dad and he made a funny observation... the dancer Edyta (who I think is Polish) is practically darker than her partner, who is African American, due to all the fake tanning. Granted, he looks like he might only be part African American, but last time I checked, the central/eastern europeans weren't known for their fantastic natural tans. She's going to need to limit herself to two sprays.
Oh, so, funny thing as I was debating on whether I needed to be p.c. and use African American or just say black... I remember reading something about Lewis Hamilton, the F1 driver from the UK, and how they kept referring to him as African American because he is black... is he still African American if he's British? I didn't think so. Can you just slap that label on to all black people to be politically correct? It seems to lose it's correctness when it's used and doesn't apply. It's as if you're just slapping on a different generic label ("African American") in place of another ("black").
