They are American citizens so why did they call them that? I think it shows how we have come this far and some people still don't think of blacks as real citizens.

BLAH Special Agent Orange Posted at 10:48 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 anybody can be a refugee, regardless of race. its just another name for someone who has no home. carracer Posted at 10:48 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 I think that everyone that lived in new orleans and lost their homes were called refugees. Because they lost everything and had nowhere to go. It wasn't a racial thing.
