Whites are Americans, everyone else is hyphenated because they aren't true Americans

Why are whites in U.S. considered Americans, but Mexicans in Mexico not considered Central Americans?

The term AA is a racists term at it's roots. Srs, vry srs. Just because a person is black doesn't mean they came from Africa. Just because a person is white doesn't mean they didn't come from Africa. As blatant as possible.

Pretty sure Jesse Jackson popularized it to make the AAs feel special back in the 80s. "Afro-American" has some roots in history though
