Is African American a true Nationality?

The United States Census Bureau defines nationality as "The origin of the first person(s) who came to the United States from another country." African American is not an acceptable response to the question on the census form because it is not a nationality.

Additionally, the United Nations defines a nation as "a community of people who share a common culture and identity and who occupy a defined territory." African American is not a single, unified group with a common culture and identity. African American people come from many different countries and cultures, and they have a variety of different identities.

Therefore, African American is not a true nationality. It is a term used to describe a group of people who share a common heritage and experiences, but it is not a single, unified group.
