Mark it. I believe the term African-American relates to geography and culture, such as me for example my mother was born and raised in Africa, but my father in America. I grew up in the African-American community even though my appearance is white, I think of myself as an African-American because of the culture I absorbed. Oh I also remember hearing on CNN that the new term is Black-American for people who are black and lived in America for multiple generations.
