You would have to apply for citizenship the same as any other immigrant. Because your parents were diplomats to the US you remained a citizen of the nation they're from, especially since they probably registered you with their country when you were born.

It's the same for American's born overseas, we have a lot of American children born to Army personnel outside the country. They inform the US government, and even though they were born outside of the states, they're still American citizen's because they were born to American parents.

Here's from a document on the following site:

If you were born in the United States:
Including, in most cases, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, you are an American citizen at birth (unless you were born to a foreign diplomat).
Your birth certificate is proof of your citizenship.

Everyone born in the U.S. is deemed to be a U.S. citizen by birthright. However, it can be revoked or surrendered upon citizenship in another country.
