Huh. No, that's true. Maybe that's something I'm going to start trying out in the USA. Thanks for the idea.
The more I think about it, the more I like it. What's the point in stating, "He's a black American?" or, "He's a Latino American?" or anything like that? With each race comes attached stereotypes. Why risk bringing up those stereotypes, when they can just be called "person" or "American"?
