What are the politically correct ethnic and/or racial terms in other countries?

Question

I realized a few days ago that the terms "African American," "Latin American," et al. can only really be used in reference to peoples living in the United States.  But what about in other countries?  What are the terms for, say, England?  "African Brit," "Latin Brit," et al.?  Or are there other terms?  

Please note that I'm referring to politically correct terms, not racial slurs.

thanks for this question. as a black person living in the US, everyone thinks i'm african american, but i was born in cameroon, there i was a Bamileke, the name of my tribes, we are almost all black there, we don't have race issues like the US, we don't call ourselves black even though we know we are, we call ourselves by the names of our tribes.

In Latin countries they use words to refer to the color but overall we are just one people when you go to Puerto Rico or Cuba there just one people there is no **** or ****** where just one people.Sure there is racist comments but overall we are one people.
