Nick Adams (born Jamile Adams in 1973) is an American television writer and author. He is currently a writer for the Fox sitcom ''New Girl''
Adams, an African American, is the author of the book ''Making Friends with Black People'', which he describes as a humorous but potent "how to guide" to bridging racial divides.〔Adams, Nick (2006). ''Making Friends with Black People.'' New York: Kensington Publishing Corp.〕 Adams lives in Los Angeles, California with his wife.〔
==''Making Friends with Black People''==
In an interview with National Public Radio interviewer Ed Gordon, Adams says "boredom" was the impetus that drove him to write ''Making Friends with Black People''.〔Gordon, Ed (Mar 10, 2006). ("'Making Friends with Black People': A Guide" (Interview with Nick Adams) ). ''NPR.org.'' Retrieved April 30, 2007.〕 He was living in Tucson, Arizona at the time, a place without a substantial Black community. Adams notes that the comedic tone of his book allows people to be more "open" to some of the things he has to say, which might have otherwise come across as offensive.
In the book, Adams discusses many themes pertinent to the Black community, including his preference for the term "Black" over "African American". "It makes more sense than the others in every way", says Adams. "Phonetically, it's no contest. One syllable versus multi-syllabic hyphenates. Black wins hands down. Although initially it doesn't conjure the lofty bourgeois imagery of the other terms, it depicts a more realistic portrayal of who we really are." 〔Adams, Nick (2006). ''Making Friends with Black People.'' New York: Kensington Publishing Corp. Pg. 17.〕
