It's a politically correct term when it comes to white people and I doubt he meant anything from it. Who the hell would use racism when apologizing for using racism?

afro american is not a politically correct term. you may think it is, but you're white, so what you think about what offends someone else, is irrelevant. blacks accept "afro american" because we have low expetations that you'll understand. its lik we pat you on your head and say "we know you're doing your best". "afro american" is a phrase thats based on a hair style. it has nothing to do with a people or a culture, or your american history or anything. just a hair style.
and nah i don't think he meant anything derrogatory in his mistake. he just doesn't know.
