I have a black friend from Burundi, the other day while he was stroking my hairy arm (he's fascinated by my Mediterranean hairiness compared to his African hairlessness) he asked me if I know any African scientists, when I started naming the few African American scientists I know he immediately stopped me and told me African Americans aren't African, they're just American. I asked him how come? He said you have to be born and raised in Africa to be an African, he then called me his African brother. I never was more flattered in my life.
What do my African American friends on /int/ think of my buddy's take?
