In an American court, you are either an American citizen, or you are not.

Exactly. But it's not an either/or proposition.
You can be a citizen of America, and you can be a citizen of Mexico, Panama, or Canada. All at the same time.
There is nothing which forbids this and there is plenty of precedent to show this to be the case.
I know two of my brothers are dual citizens. They have two passports from two different countries, and don't tell me that either country is unaware of that. Both countries know their birthplace and place of residence and why they claim citizenship in both countries. And both recognize their citizenship.
I frankly wish I had it. I was born on summer vacation when my dad and mom came back to the states.
