>>84847630When I was in middle school, there was one other black kid in my English class. One time we were doing some project where we pick a Shakespeare character and present on them in-character. The teacher was like, "Abraham, you can bee Othello because you're both African-American."
I was just thinking, "pretty sure America wasn't a thing in Shakespeare's time, not sure how Othello can be African-American."
Also, we live in Canada.
I guess these two continents are all "the Americas," but I'm pretty sure that's not what typically meant by "African American."
