The Reason Why Disney Star Told Oprah To Stop Calling Her African American Will Have You Cheering Raven-Symone is an African-American actress who is best known for her work on The Cosby Show and Thats So Raven. And if you ask her, there is something wrong with that statement above. Shed like everyone to drop African from that statement. Im tired of being labeled, the young actress told Oprah Winfrey. Im an American. Im not an African-American. The response came to a question from Oprah about Raven-Symones sexuality. The actress publicly outed herself in August. Winfrey, predictably, did not know what to do with the response that did not follow the typical liberal script. I mean, I dont know where my roots go to. I dont know how far back they go, the actress continued. I dont know what country in Africa Im from, but I do know that my roots are in Louisiana. Im an American. And thats a colorless person. Raven-Symone is not the first one to speak out against the incorrect nature of political correctness. Actress Shialene Woodley recently came forward in support of traditional gender roles, as did Kirsten Dunst. I have darker skin. I have a nice, interesting grade of hair, the actress concluded. I connect with Caucasian. I connect with Asian. I connect with black. I connect with Indian. I connect with each culture. According to Raven-Symone, this is how America is supposed to be. What do you think of the actress statements?
