• Giving blacks different names such as African-American or Caribbean etc. Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos, Indians, and East Indians are named purely by their ethnicities….– “if you’re in San Francisco, for example,

and you see a Japanese or a Chinese walking down the street you do not say that there goes an American-Japanese or a Japanese-American. You say simply there goes a Japanese – (period).” (77)

• Europeans gave us different names so Africans couldn’t associate with each other and there would be differences
