African American? She was born in the USA of American parents, lived
in the USA, worked in the USA, and died in the USA. She was American.
She may have had some ancestors from Africa, but that doesn't make
her African. I have very recent ancestors from Ireland (including my
mother), but I am not Irish.
I agree with your logic. I too have Irish ancestors, but I am not Irish.
The same question in the USA seems to require the "how many
generationas" question.
