Yeah, I have five friends who were born in Africa and immigrated to the States. Five African-Americans. Three are black, two are white.
In the end, though, I'll call people whatever they prefer, it's no skin of my ass. --- "Can't wait to count out your coin!" -- Bethesda, 2018 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've always wondered this also. I think it's more of a pompous pride throughout history that because the Europeans came here, slaughtered the inhabitants and conquered, they then became the "real Americans" or whatever. In reality, Native Americans are Americans, and it's a fucking disgrace that they had to have "Native" added to their designation in this nation, like being filed into a side column of inferior races, and the raping, murdering, parasitic Europeans who infested here just became "Americans"

I agree. My belief its part of the systemic racism in the country. One that most people on all sides are ok with, but it still leads to the idea that white Americans are Americans, while any other background is labeled as a ______-American.
If youre born in this country, youre an American, simple as that. If youre emigrated from another country/continent and are now a US citizen, then the ______-American label is accurate. --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran ... Copied to Clipboard!

Can't speak for other people, but as a white person, I was told that "African-American" was the more politically correct term I should be using. Personally, when I'm telling stories, I prefer to drop skin color/ethnicity altogether, so instead of saying "I bumped into this black guy/Asian girl/Hispanic kid at the store today and..." I'll just say "I bumped into this guy/girl/kid at the store today and...". I don't know why "European-American" or whatever isn't a thing.
