do u consider me an american?

Question

ok, I'm confused myself. I do not know what to think of myself. u see, i was born in USA, thus I'm american citizen by birth :). my family is originally Egyptian, so I have a dual citizenship. I lived in both USA and Egypt. I speak good Arabic and English. I'm a Muslim and wear headscarf. I get along with Americans and have both American and Arabian friends as well as some Indians, Mexicans, Asians, Italians, u name it. Sometimes I love both countries, and sometimes I hate them both. When people ask me what am I, I say am an Egyptian with an American CITIZEN! I am curious to know what u think?Egyptian or American?
no hate msgs plz.... be nice

Answer 1

YOU ARE AMERICAN AND EGYPTIAN, YOU MUSNT FORGET YOUR CULTURE.
I DON´T LIKE US CITIZENS WHO WEREN´T BORN IN USA, AND THEY FORGET THEIR ROOTS, AND THEY THINK ARE MORE AMERICAN THAT BLACK PEOPLE OR INDIANS WHO ARE FROM AMERICAN DURING A LOT OF GENERATIONS.
FOR EXAMPLE MY FATHER IS CROAT AND HE IS VERY RACIST, IM FROM SPAIN HE IS RACIST WITH ME BECAUSE HE DOESN´T LIKE TO SPANISH PEOPLE.HE THINKS MY CULTURE IS GARBAGE, WHEN HE WASN´T BORN IN USA.
YOU HAVE TO BE PROUD OF YOUR ROOTS.

Answer 2

Ur an American in my book. Although I have lived in the US all my life and I can't wait to leave. I'm moving to Japan when I'm 18.

Answer 3

Both! That's how it works in America. However my friend who is African American was born in Japan. Believe me, he is no way considered Japanese.

Answer 4
