"My students find it off when I refer to the colonizers of North America as Euro-Americans, but they feel more at ease with Afro-Americans, a term which, for the period of colonization and the slave trade, has no more to recommend it. Students readily understand that no one was really a European, since Europeans belonged to different nationalities: but it comes as a surprise to them that no one was an African either, since Africans likewise belonged to different nationalities." - from Racecraft by Karen Fields & Barbara Fields
