I agree with your sentiments - I believe wholeheartedly that until the government stops defining race based on biased lending, laws, grants, ect it will be impossible for people to do so as well.
As far as that quote goes, however, African American is likely on of the most retarded Policially Correct terms out there. First off, it assumes that they are an American - I had a black friend of mind from London and he was pretty incredulous that he was suddenly an "African-American".... secondly, it assumes that they trace their heritage back to Africa. That same friend traced his history back as far as he possibly could and it seems that his family began in Europe.
