yes. and when it comes to the term African-American yes. Jamaicans of African descent are not African-Americans they are Afro-Jamaican.

now one can argue a Jamaican individual can become a naturalized US citizen and then be considered a Jamaican African-American but that’s semantics. By that regard Elon Musk is African-American. So is Charlize Theron.

America = USA
North America = North America
South America = South America
Americas = both North and South America

That would make her Jamaican American, not African American.

when did we suddenly describe black people based on their country of ancestral origin?
Is this another goalpost move to help team trump's race attack?
what is this?

In white society in America, it's generally less-acceptable to call people blacks (or the blacks), and so to be polite, we've substituted "African-American" in place of black. Less accurate, more polite. Taking someone whose ancestors are genuinely not from Africa and calling them African-American is why it's less accurate.

I understand its less accurate when did facts matter to the team trump? why the focus on accuracy since Harris was appointed.. strange take on birtherism?
you know 80% would just like to call her a N-word and move on.. the bs is exhausting.. LOL

Most jamaicans came from Africa..

A HA! Even you just called them Jamaicans.

Are you projecting? This willingness to accept such ridiculous caricaturiazations of your political adversaries is dishonest AF.



Most Mexicans are Spanish.
