Is it racism?

[Typhoid]

If someone says something aboot me being Canadian, i play along eh. make 'em think we all live in igloos and whatnot. And i think that the world is WAAAAAY to P.C.(pol. Correct) these days. Last week in class, i got in trouble for calling a kid "Black" my teacher said he ws "African American"...wait a minute here...we are canadain....So shouldnt he be "African Canadian"? whats wrong with saying the word black? i can call Caucasian people white. I can call oriental people Asian. So why cant i call an "African American" black? I know why, its the Pu**yfication of the world. And i dont want to be mean or rude but the U.S. (i have nothing wrong with the country) is dulling everything down to be less harsh on kids. in the early 20's the Traumatic syndrome caused in war was called " Shell Shock" simple and to the point. Now its call "Post-Traumatic war syndrome"...a little longer and harder to decipher what it means.... I just have a problem with double standards and how the world is getting so pollitically correct nowadays.
