There is always someone who will take sarcasm seriously.

So, a white from South Africa would be a South African-American?

Would somebody from South Africa living in Brazil be a South African-South American?

Well, that would be more logical then African-American, as it denotes their origin, but race has nothing to do with country or continent of origin. A white man could just as easily be an African-American.
While my ancestors came from Ireland and Scotland, I do not call myself Scotch-Irish American, much less European-American.
My race is white, or Caucasian.

I have a friend who is white, blue eyed and from Johannesburg.

Upon receiving her US citizenship we threw a party for her to celebrate.

Terrific evening and another friend commented to her “Well Hanna, how does it feel to be an African American?”.

Still cracks me up.
