Black People in Europe


OK I know the title might sounds like trouble, but I have a serious question

In America people often refer to Black people as African American's. I just say Black, I'm not lazy I just do. So in Europe are they refered to as African British? African German? Or just simple Black?

Sorry if this sounds incredibly stupid but I think it's time I knew.

Well I mean when refering to someone's race. If I see a black guy on the street I don't say "Hey Black DUDE!"

It used to be on applications but not anymore, when choosing a race it said African American, Caucasian, Latino etc. I'm just curious what it's like over seas.

I think it depends what country in Africa they are from, since I think most of them are semi-recent immigrants. For example, you would say, "oh you know, that Algerian/Moroccan/etc..." guy. It's more of a culture thing.

Because Caucasia is actually a real region, and I bet you're not from there. Lots of people don't know about Caucasia, and they they still check that little box on forms and such.
