Category:Canadian people of African-American descent

[edit]

I changed this to Category:Canadian people of American descent because there is no indication of African-American heritage; his mother is white Canadian, his father's father is from Nigeria and his father's mother is white from Oregon. ... discospinster talk 01:00, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

The category appears on his father's page, so I included it on his. Wheatzilopochtli (talk) 01:09, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
I removed it from his father's page as well, for the same reason. ... discospinster talk 01:19, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Is 'African-American' supposed to be taken literally or is it just being politically correct? Category:Black Nova Scotians‎ is a subcategory of Category:Canadian people of African-American descent. Either they are using the term to mean Black or the subcategory ought to be moved or renamed. Wheatzilopochtli (talk) 01:22, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure what you're asking in relation to this article? The Iginlas aren't Black Nova Scotians, and they're not descended from enslaved people of the United States. ... discospinster talk 04:03, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
The one is a subcategory of the other. Either the categories are using the them "African American" to mean "Black," or there is an error with the categories. Wheatzilopochtli (talk) 14:34, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
In the U.S. they tend to use the term "African American" whereas in Canada they tend to use the term "Black Canadian", so the categories are named the same way. This is somewhat out of the scope of this article anyway. ... discospinster talk 17:14, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
