I knew what you were getting at but your way of getting there was way off. You should reword your question so it actually follows the point you're trying to make.

They as African as any other African....Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why south africans dont self-identify themselves as "african american"? Would they appreciate being referred to as African Americans? Do they refer to each other as Africans, and/or African Americans? This is a really bad thread.

African is not a race....

They identify their race based on the cultures and customs of the nation they came from. Thats why a white man born in South Africa still identifies himself as Dutch.
thank u....these motherfukkers on here lack common senseI don't think any South African would identify himself as "Dutch", since that's another nationality. Maybe "Afrikaans", but the white South Africans I've known identify themselves as Africans. You have white Angolans, people in Madagascar of Indian descent, people in Senegal of Lebanese descent. Hell, then you have all of the Maghreb and Mashriq, in which people (NOT ALL) identify as Africans.
Listen, it's just that people need to stop thinking that all Africans are black, and that all Blacks are African. AAs on this site actually talking about places they've prob never been to and deciding who should be called what lol.
You ask them what their background is they're going to trace it back to europe, not africa is the point. It doesnt help them to associate themselves with Black people so any term that allows them to separate themselves from black people will be used, is the point. They dont like black people, like that.I don't think any South African would identify himself as "Dutch", since that's another nationality.
