I find it amusing the way we learn.  For instance, when we are babies, we see thousands of colors.  As we learn, people tell us to place those thousands of colors into just few basic ones: red, yellow, green, blue, purple, orange, brown, black, white (i know they aren't colors, but that's too bad at the moment) and so forth.  But then, after having made such a limted scope, we are expected to expand once again, learning all sorts of new words for the colors that they told us before belonged in simple categories: sepia, vermillion, cerulean, turquoise, chartreuse, mauve, beige....the list never ends.  We learn to realize that there are more colors and shades than the original few, and yet it was something we had already known in the first place.  

African-American.  For some reason, this politically correct term makes me extremely annoyed.   For one thing, it doesn't apply to most of the world.  Why would you make up a term that can only be used in one area?  With a word like that, you'd have to change it to African-Canadian, African-Italian, African-Chinese...... the list goes on and on.  How annoying is that?  And, anyway, none of those are correct anyway.  And imagine living in America and being African_American, until all of a sudden to you move to France and are African-French.   Stupidity.

Besides, it gives people the mistaken impression that African-American is a race.  When it most certainly is not.  LIke Canadian and Filipino are not races.  Although, technically there are only three races in the world (Four if you count the Aboriginies from Australia): Mongoloids, Caucasians, and Negroids.  And my dad looked up correct anthropological terms the other day, so i think those names are right.

Either way, African-American is a stupid politically correct term that should be done away with.  It only aggravates oddly-minded individuals.

Wouldn't you be upset if your name was Prince Kirill Vladimirotch Bezuhov (or Princess Anna Mihalovna Dubretsky)?

Also, what in the world does Hofskriegswurstschnappsraths mean?

As far as i can tell, it's some kind of German/Russian army regiment thing.
