From AAVE to iconic catchphrases, African American slang has become an essential part of American culture. Get ready to level up your slang game as we take you on a journey through the top phrases and expressions that have shaped the African American community. For example, “how would you describe your race/ethnicity?” If someone is Black, it is polite to say “ she is Black ” (if it is relevant). When talking about a whole group, it is best to use Black as an adjective. Identity is extremely personal. You should listen, educate yourself, learn, and politely ask about preferences, if in doubt. Race and ethnicity are commonly used and are often used interchangeably. However, they evolved in different ways and do not hold the same meaning (although there is overlap). Instead of using ‘ Black , Asian and Minority Ethnic’ or ‘BAME’, use precise terminology to describe the specific ethnicity of a person or group. If it is absolutely necessary to use a broad term, use ‘minority ethnic group’ (not ‘minority group’ or ‘ethnic minority group’). Use black (adjective, the color) itself to describe the person, if absolutely necessary, i.e. Black person or dark-skinned or dark-complexioned. Never refer to them or address them as a black (noun).
