For those who don't know, Elon Mush was born in Africa and came over to the United States. Thus he is technically an "African-American."
Many people, mostly on the Left, refer to blacks as "African-Americans" thinking they are being politically correct. But the fact is, most black people do not come from Africa. They were born right here in America. Which makes them Americans. Not "African-Americans."
Some of my ancestors came from Ireland but I was born in the United States. So I don't go around calling myself "Irish-American" just because my great-great grandparents came from Ireland. That's just silly. I do like to listen to Celtic music, eat shepherd pie and drink my Guinness so I guess not all the Irish has been bred out of me.
They have referred to people who are African-African as "African-American".
Technically, if you go back far enough, we’re all African Americans.🤔
