Wikipedia's job is not to dictate what words should or shouldn't be used to describe the Black Canadian community; our role is to report on what words are used. And "Afro-Caribbean-Canadian" is simply not a term that actually gets used — it gets less than 200 Google hits compared to tens of thousands for Carribean-Canadian. Whether it should be the term that gets used or not is not relevant to what Wikipedia's here for — we're an encyclopedia, not a governing body. Our role is to report the way things are, not to dictate the way things should be, but aren't. Bearcat 03:34, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
