I think it's because being African American is a minority compared to being white.

[[edit]] It's because white people have been the dominant race in the past and subjected other races to bad treatment so I believe if we say something to them it is seen as reminiscant of that. However, calling someone black isn't offensive because it's just a fact (although some ignorant people may incorrectly class it as racism). Unless you say it in an offensive way that implies they are below you. [[edit]]

Actually, black and white people call one another black and white all of the time and not many at all see a problem with it, so long as it's not being used to insult.
