We sometimes say "people of color". I like that because it's inclusive. Where I live we have people in every shade except Scottish white (and that is truly, truly white). It's a bit startling when I see those blue-white people. I know they aren't local.
All I can say is my African American friends feel that that is the referral they like. Not trying to be politically correct here, just saying what actual people close to me prefer.
BLACK and there's nothing wrong with it. lots of Blacks I know hate the African American thing, it's sooooooo PC and dumb.

Exactly this-I knew someone from Dominica and she did not like being called African-American. She said her people did not come from Africa.
