How do you figure? I know plenty of people of color, or various nationalities, who call themselves American. Most of them were born here in America.

BTW, I question the motive of this thread.😕

You, sir, are not the sharpest knife in the drawer. 😉

 
I'm "white" and I've taken to calling myself African American... since all human life originated there anyhow. 😉 😛

it's harder to get sympathy if you just use the term 'american' for whatever atrocity you were put through hundreds of years before your birth.
 
African American etc..are such BS terms, I don't go around calling myself a European American. I'm a white guy
 
Randolph is resting in his bed. J.D. and Turk approach.
J.D.: Mr. Randolph.
Randolph: What's he doing here? You know I don't like these people.
Turk looks at him, shocked, about to say something.
Randolph: [clearing it up] Surgeons. Not African-Americans.
Turk: Oh!... We're actually saying "black" now, sir.
Randolph: [shouting to the hallway] I was right, Catherine!

it should be just American. your ancestors came from Africa and mine came from France and Germany. i don't call myself a French American or German American because that was so many generations ago it's really not who i am or who you are. i'm a mix, a mut, just like the rest of you.
