It's the favoured term right now. I'm sure it will slip out of vogue as others have (Negro, coloured etc) because as you say, it's not accurate.

But at least it fits in with the way other Americans describe themselves. For example half Swedish, half Irish because that's where their ancestors came from before they arrived in America.
