Most black people in this country are American. And that's it.

You're not African American unless you weren't born here, then came here, and became a citizen.

I've never in my life referenced myself as a White American.

What about Irish, Italian etc, ? I understand your point and I have worked with actual Africans who get upset at the term "African Americans ".
