If he is from Africa, regardless of his skin color he is African. Just like if you are born in America, regardless of your skin color you are American.

Now if you are born in Africa and you move to America, then you would be considered African American.

I try my best to study in Geography, so I believe this is how it works.

Another example. Someone born in China, but moves to America would be Chinese American, but if a person whose family is of Chinese decent is just born in America, they are American with a Chinese background.

If I have messed this up I apologize, but I think this is right...it's what we are studying in my class right now.


Oh yeah I also found out that everyone has ancestors that date back to Africa at some point...

Anyways I am rambling....my bad. It's the Jack Daniels, it takes control sometimes.
