As a member of the group you discussed -
African-American

(Jeez! Just when I got used to
bein' colored, we were Negroes. Then I got use to that and we turned Black. Whew! Now I know - oops, Jesse said we wuz African-American.)

Anyway, your friend's assessment is true if I'm typical. I've been an ardent catalog, mail-order, internet shopper forever. For me it's about convenience, for the most part. But in the case of Art, there's seldom enough of a selection in any one place, so mail order / catalog buying helps expand my little collection.
