I have heard reference to Irish-Americans and Polish-Americans and Italian-Americans and German-Americans and a whole bunch of other folks, OK, over the years.

So, i figure, Ireland, and Poland and Italy and Germany are all countries, and America is a country, right?

So I figure, I've heard African-American many, many times, so i figured that it worked the same way, and that Africa was a country.

A simple mistake? you 'betcha.  The media playing "Gotcha?"  You 'betcha again.

But I've got the last laugh.  I can name ALL the countries in Antarctica.  I betcha I'm the only person in America who knows that!
