I would rather call people black Americans, as they may not be very directly from Africa, if at all.

You're black? That's nice. You're still just an American like the rest of us.

Nah, like I said, he was doing the experiment to see if he could microwave a burrito so hot that even he could not eat it. Turns out he can and he has to let it cool for a few years before he can eat it.
