Black folks, do you consider Charlize Theron African-American?

[Mowgli]

cause ya know... this woman.

Is by definition, African-American.


anyone disagree?

No. If your parents are born in Nigeria but were antarctican explorers and you were born in antarctica, are you Nigerian or antarctican? Stop.

 

[jadillac]

In a world that made sense, yes she is African-American.

And no, most of us on this board are NOT African-American. We're American like any white person born here.

It's SO STUPID to me how a black persons ancestors might have been here for 600 years, helped build this country, and we're still hyphenated by African-American...whereas a white persons family may have been here a little over 100 years and they're considered American.

 

[Premeditated]

How is she American though?

 

[Peak]

How is she American though?

Dual citizenship
