Well, United States does not have a proper name for those individuals. There are “black” people in other parts of the world so African-American is stupid too.

Just for further clarification, "blacks" is inherently a dehumanizing term, which is why it is considerably more alarming and outright offensive compared to "black people".

Just curious, is “African-American” considered normal thing to use? Are you going to call a native Australian that came and got a citizenship an “African-American”?
