I find "African-American" offensive.

The word "person", which implies a sort of mask, a persona if you will, and not the real, honest being behind it. It should be replaced in all textbooks with Human being, so a Policeman, would become a Police Human Being., or a Human being who is a member of a Police force. See, far more acurate, and it helps the kids in thier english comprehension.
OTOH, we could be intelligent about it and replace it with something easy to say like "Policer". What's wrong with "Police Officer" again? That's what everyone uses in these parts.
