Current PC words to describe different races

Your insights have definitely convinced me to specify countries -- thank you!
And I think 'black' will work, as well. Siska, I can't use other characteristics because it's such a varied group -- and they're all very proud of the cultural and racial variety in their group. Otherwise, it's a good idea. :)

Robin--if it helps, Carrie Harris (a member of the BBs, at least she used to be, and a YA author) lives in MI if I remember correctly. She's super nice and I'm sure would answer an email or PM...

I lived in "multi-cultural" bradford where asians and people of other background celebrated their origins in that context. Rarely did they refer to themselves as "types", but nearly always celebrated their country of origin. And afro-carribeans always referred to themselves as black and were quite adamant about it.
