Interesting.

My thoughts on the title, wither you are an American or not. Ask Colin Powell what he is (people have) he does not reply Afro-American.....he says American.

Either you are an American or an Afghan. Maybe an American with Afghan heritage. EVERYONE that lives in America is from a family that immigrated here at one point in time.............some by choice, and some not by their own free will...........but the fact remains that the price ancestors paid is our reward today...........by being a legal American citizen.
