Zach and Miri make a porno, right? Knew the bit in the comic was familiar
It is indeed
I'll take an African American coffee.
You've just offended the Jamaican guy who doesn't have US citizenship.
That's okay, he won't be here for much longer come next year.

“Black” just works as a better term. It’s hilarious when people refer to black folks from other countries as “African American.”
I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone offended by being called “black.”

(Rebranded to "Nito" a while back)
Back when I was a kid, "bimbo" was another slur for black people.
Just curious: where was that? Since I was a child, "Bimbo" meant a dumb, attractive, woman, and implied promiscuity. I heard it most in (Italian) gangster movies, mostly. From what I can tell, the racial slur meaning is used in Germany.
Funny; I lived in Germany for a couple of years and never heard that version, but then, I didn't hang out with the types that would be inclined to teach it to me. I got standard cuss words and some colloquial Bavarian curses.

...where's your instrument?
Personally, I’d be like “what the fuck are talking about?”
In Spanish we ask for a café negro or café negrito all the time and guess how many people are offended about it? Zero.
Nobody is offended by it in English, either. This comic is, y'know, a joke.

I’m guessing you don’t remember a few years back when a YouTuber got upset about a country called “Montenegro”?
Never underestimate the power of Americans to get offended, especially on another’s behalf.

Used to go to a coffee shop where the barista would say, "You want it black, like me?"
did he give you one of these too
This is dumb, like really really dumb. So dumb it's unrecognizable from conservative propaganda about how the libs are too triggered to even order black coffee.
