    For example, are black people in England referred to as African English, or in Germany as African German. Or maybe in Africa as African Africans.

    Just wondering.

    Ask a few of them. If you survive the beating you receive after asking feel free to post their responses.

      In the UK, no.
      The most common, and AFAIK ´politically correct´, term is simply black.

        Afro-Europeans generally.

        Also, Africa is not a country.

What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

              dude, do i consider myself a european.....f*ck no, i'm english. So a Moroccan will probably not want to be put in the same boat as someone from Kenya - Africa is made up of like 30 countries or something.

              And in england we just call them black, no reason to go all pc and start stating their origin and then their passport.

                      what type of question is that, we created that word to degrade them, they may use it in compton and inglewood but most africans don't even speak english as their first language - did you know that?

                          Saw a US based reporter in London use the term "African-American" to refer to black Brits about 30 times over his 3-4 days of reporting

                            In Central America for example they are 'treated' as Caribbean Islands' descendants.

                              Universal name for them is "blacks". BeanTownJim calls them coloreds or nigerians.
