MY PARENTS ARE FROM JAMAICA BUT I WAS BORN HERE

I think it's silly. Teresa Heinz Kerry and Dave Matthews were both born in Africa. Should they call themselves African-Americans? Should I call myself English-American? Nope...just American.

If you want to sure. The purpose of these types of wording is so that the person can express their identity as they best see fit.

I think you should identify yourself from your own perspective. Who cares if it's politically correct???
