African-American? White/Black? Wtf...Read and Respond please.

You answered your own question. It only happens in the U.S, hence,
MURRRRRRICA.
But for real, the U.S is pretty ignorant, especially these days. My best mate is white, but his family come from South Africa. His grandfather is 100% African. People say I'm African American because I'm dark, but nah, my Dad is white and his family come from Poland, my mom was black. I'd rather just say I'm European by genetics because I've got mostly European in me, Polish, Italian, French. Hell I've got more Chinese than African in me, only thing that's dark is my skin.
