Answer 6

"Black" is not politically incorrect in any country that I know of, though it is not the preferred term anymore in the United States. I have heard "African-Canadian", but in Britain I only heard "black". In a lot of European countries the majority of black people are immigrants or the children or grandchildren of immigrants, so usually they are referred to by their country of origin (eg. French-Senegalese).
