A white South African, whose ancestors have lived in South Africa for hundreds of years, and who, himself, has never been outside of South Africa, moves to the United States and becomes an American citizen. At the same time, a black Italian, whose ancestors have lived in Italy for hundreds of years, and who, himself, has never been outside of Italy, moves to the United States and becomes an American citizen.
Here’s an interesting hypothetical scenario.
A white South African, whose ancestors have lived in South Africa for hundreds of years, and who, himself, has never been outside of South Africa, moves to the United States and becomes an American citizen. At the same time, a black Italian, whose ancestors have lived in Italy for hundreds of years, and who, himself, has never been outside of Italy, moves to the United States and becomes an American citizen.
Which of these two is an African American?
