You know that could be seen as an extremely offensive racial remark.

A little lesson on US pop culture: when Blacks say 'brothers', it means Blacks. For an Asian boy to express the similar feeling of love, he must say 'my African American brothers'. (An elaborate handshake at the same time is recommended but not required. )

It is no longer politically correct to call them "African American". If they come from Africa I guess you could, but the mojority of black people in the U.S. were born here (America). I mean, there really shouldn't be any label put on anyone, but you shouldn't call them African Americans if they weren't born in Africa. You wouldn't call someone of German of Irish herritage born in America "German American", or "Irish American," would you?
