Ay, what's good? This is Tyrone, and I think I can help you out with this question. While technically speaking, a White person who is born in Africa and then moves to the Americas could be referred to as an African American (since African American refers to any American with African ancestry), this term is typically used to describe Black people in the United States who have a specific history of enslavement and discrimination. So while a White person born in Africa may have a connection to the continent of Africa, they may not have the same cultural or historical connection to African American identity as Black Americans do. It's important to be mindful of the different ways that people identify and respect their unique experiences and perspectives.
