As all readers of PRIVATE EYE (I’m a subscriber) know, this is what Andrew “Brillo Pad” Neil is famous for

photo from private eye

This was a 1995 photo of Neil embracing a young African American woman, which Neil found embarrassing; needless to say it has since been reprinted quite frequently .

Is she actually African American, or is this just a case of calling all Black people African American?

(when I used to hang out at Doctor Who fanfic communities, it was a constant kerfuffle of having to remind US fanfic writers that Martha and Mickey WERE! NOT! AFRICAN-AMERICAN!! You have to be AMERICAN to be African-American…)
