No, but political correctness should be.
From your avatar you appear to be black.
"African-American" is probably what you wanted him to put.
Political correctness is not law required and is in fact quite ignorant.
You weren't born in Africa and then moved here, most likely with your parents. Thats the only way you can be called that, after your grandparents generation that term is nullified.
Its not against the law and I don't know what you say is true with the cop, but I don't see how you got that idea from what he said.

I'm pretty sure that would be freedom of speech. So no, it's not against the law.

No, how I choose to view myself is my right to pursue happiness. How the government chooses to identify me is different.
