Personally, I never talk about 'African Americans' in that way, since
I don't tend to notice when people aren't of my ethnic background
(strange, I know). I figure that someone's ethnic background should
only matter to them, so I would never use it to discuss or identify
them.

The only politically correct way to refer to someone is by name.
