Because you are neither directly African or American...That's there big deal

If your parents are from Africa and you happen to born in America you're African American I think it was big mistake to give "African Americans" to black people in America and especially giving it a racial meaning rather than geographic,I think people known as Aframs should be called "Black Americans" the same way whites are called "white American"
