It depends. If they went to the USA without the intention of staying then they would remain a South African. if they became permanently resident in the USA they would be a South African and a permanent resident of the USA. If they took out US citizenship they would become American.I believe the term African-American is correctly used to refer to black Amercians who can trace their ancestry back to Africa. It most certainly would not be a term applied to a white person.... Show More
I think that person should be called American – African rather.... Show More
Technically, yes, but it wouldn’t be politically correct. If they want, they could say they’re an African-European-American, but society tends to just go based off the looks of where their ancestors originated.... Show More
