an American is anyone who is born in America or has immigrated legally to America. we come in all shapes and sizes and from all different ethnic back grounds... that is why it is called the melting pot...

A person in possession of legal doumentation and proof of citizenship in the United States of America. Regardless of where they or their families came from and when they came.

American - someone born and raised in the United States of America.

A Canadian is NOT an American even though Canada is on the continent of North America. Mexico is also not American even though Mexico is on the Continent of North America.

Certainly not the post-1960s definition of what it means to be an American. Being an American extends beyond just merely being born here or possessing citizenship.


Lori K
A legal citizen of the USA.


NSA
A loyal, patriotic person who loves and calls this nation home. A citizen who shows respect for this great nation.

America: Short form of United States of America


South America is not a country, Central America is not a country, North America is not a country. America is a country.

technically an American is a native of any country in the Americas, North America, central and Sounth America, an American by most people in the states is seen as a person who is a citizen of the United States is anyone who is a naturalized citizen of the US, any color or creed,

to spot one out somewhere abroad, the only things I could look for is a fluentcy in English, an American accent, American specific clothing, blue jeans, snaekers, etc

I am Argentina, because I was born in Argentina. But I am American too, because Argentina is an country of American Continent.

FRANCESCA THOMAS: PLEASE YOU NEED STUDY GEOGRAPHY.
AMERICA IS CONTINENT. "The Americas are the lands of the Western hemisphere or New World, consisting of the continents of North America[1] and South America with their associated islands and regions."

IN SPANISH: FRANCESCA, YOU ARE BRUTAAAAAA
