African-American... is the term generally accepted by educated and cultured people in the United States.
Don't equate PC mainstream media with "educated" or "cultured". I'd say maybe 5% of the people in the US use the term "African-American". "African-American" is the term used by those that like to think they are better than the culture. This does not make them cultured.
