Political Correctness in Russia

I am a bit confused with Russian understanding of PC:
«Президентом будет черный, – неполиткорректно заметила Дюваль. – Выберут
Обаму».
Prezidentom budet chernyj,- nepolitkorrektno zametil Duval, Vyberut Obamu.

does it mean that "*black*" regarding Afro-American is also not PC? What
then
Russians should say?
P.S. All this resembles me Ukrainians forcing Russians to say V Ukraine,
instead of NA Ukraine.
Sorry for being possibly not too PC.
Really confused (again lost in between two cultures? :-).
