Terms such as “Black”, “African American”, “African-Barbadian”, “African-Brazilian” may be preferred.

| |
| Prefix coined by Americans in the late 1960s. It has now fallen out of favour on the grounds that the term “Afro” is associated with a hairstyle rather than a continent. Generally, the prefix “African-” is now preferred, although there are exceptions i.e. many people self-identify as “Afro-Caribbean”.
