Well to an enlightened person such as myself, the synopsis should read:
"A young man visits his girlfriend's parents for the weekend, where his simmering uneasiness about their reception of him eventually reaches a boiling point." -

Them using the term African-American might negate my idea, but when I saw your post, the first thing that came to mind was how I’ve seen in recent years (especially on a yahoo news for some reason), tons of articles that deal with some sort of negative racial interaction between the two always follow a similar type of phrasing like the following:
Mr. So-and-so, who is Black, got into a verbal altercation with Mrs. Whosywhatsit, who is white, and chaos ensued. Seriously, go to yahoo news and find an article like that and see how Black will always be capitalized and white will not be (see I just did it myself. Oh no, I’m one of them!). It’s pretty funny actually though I’m puzzled at how that’s promoting racial equality. You’re not going to achieve a brotherhood of man by acting negatively towards one group that had previously acted negatively towards the other. Eventually there will be pushback like what black people began to do eventually after years of oppression. You can’t balance the scales by treating one group wrong because they treated the other wrong. It’ll be just like one of those perpetual motion pendulum thingies where it will just swing from one side to the other without end. -

You are on the right track, my friend.
Here is the description again so that we may use it for reference:
"A young African-American visits his white girlfriend's parents for the weekend, where his simmering uneasiness about their reception of him eventually reaches a boiling point."
Yeah, it's where they refer to him as being, "African-American," and the girlfriend and her parents being "white."
Whomever came up with that is being PC while also being un-PC.
So I find it wrong to be respectful with one race while being non respectful towards another even though the latter are the protagonists.
It is yet another example showing the hypocrisies of PC.
Blacks are still OK with being called blacks.
They are not immigrants from Africa. They are as American as all of us born here.
I am not aware of any huge outcry from them to be given that label.
If we have to give them a mouthful of a label then we deserve the same thing. Start referring to us as, "European Americans," or I will also accept, "Caucasians."
(I will not accept being called, "Late To dinner." That is out.)
It gets ridiculous and the other thing that drives me nuts is as if calling them a mouthful of a term is somehow going to erase centuries of racism, injustice, genocide, oppression and so many other active wrongdoings.
Like knock on the door of a rich, white person's house and ask for a donation to the Negro College Fund or the NAACP and you might get back, "I don't have any money but at least we call them, 'African Americans!" as if that makes things all better.

Stfu asshole. You have never talked to a black person or African American your entire life.
Nobody reads plot summaries. They rely on the movie trailer and word of mouth reviews from their peers. -

Oh? Was that your assessment from looking at the first 3 photos from a Google search? The more photos I see of them, the less they resemble me. I look more like my grandmother right now and several generations of her family are from the islands, not Africa. We don't even know any ancestors from Africa.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm tired of you assholes. You're ****ing obsessed with me!
There has been 3 women that are just as ****ing crazy as you all say I am and yet you're polite to those women.
That tells me a few things. You obviously don't think I'm that crazy. You're just racist.
