ill remember that the next time a conservative white male whines about a black person not being identified as black on a crime report.
in those situations the conservative white males wants to make it abundantly clear that the criminal is black.
The next time the criminal suspect is also an Olympic medal winner you do just that.
Can you differentiate between a call for assistance to the public in locating a criminal on the loose who presents an immediate threat to safety and someone participating in a sports competition?
My older relatives used to say we were German-American, never really cared one way or another. They are all dead now and I don't hear it much any more.
The Italian-Americans still identify this way in some areas of the states.

Really, that is your comparison?
nobody is talking about assistance in locating a criminal.
conservative white males routinely talk about a conspiracy of how the media supposedly never mentions a criminal is black, yet you have conservative white males whining in here saying how simone is american and her race should not be mentioned, period.
so that should encompass everything.
the reason why you want manuel to identify as american and not a black american is to take away the significance of a black person winning a gold medal in a supposed white dominated sport.
according to that dumb logic, jackie robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball was no big deal because he was an american.
the conservative white male's aim is to make sure negative aspects of blacks are on the loud speaker, for example making sure its noted that a black person killed a white person when it happens, but at the same time is too downplay historical achievements like manuel's.
African Americans are a subset of a race. Just like all other hyphen Americans.
