African-American (Empires of Liberty)

The term African-American is a census term indicating a person born on the continent of Africa, but naturalized to the United States. It has no bearing on race or ethnicity, just like other similar census terms. Some have tried to use it to refer to Black Americans, but they are often corrected in proper use of the term. According to the 2010 census, 65.8% of African-Americans are ethnically white from across the African continent.
