I have always agreed with Teddy Roosevelt on this one.
"There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation of all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities." Teddy Roosevelt
"Black British" is used by the British authorities to mean UK passport holders of African or African-Caribbean origin. "African British" is gaining in popularity, from what I hear.

His quote makes a good point. We should work to join all our people, not divide them.
Teddy's vision of "joining people" was to homogenously force them all into the white European vision of how people should be. It is extremely disturbing that you sympathize with him.
