I'm starting to do some serious tagging and getting a laugh out of this occurrence. (see Olaudah Equiano, Jamaica Kincaid...etc)

Well, I guess you could argue that Olaudah Equiano is relevant to African American history / experience.
But overall, it reminds me of an interview (I think during the last summer Olympics), where some journalist referred to a black British athlete as a "British African American".
In a way, it's all "newspeak".

When I lived in Philadelphia, someone told me that their child had to do a project on a famous African-American and had picked Nelson Mandela. The conversation had moved on before my brain could formulate a response!
