Only Native Americans. And that includes Central America and South America.
What's even better is: America isn't even the name of the country, much less an ethnicity. But that's a story for another day. We're the United States. OF America (the north American continent)
I thought American meant=Native Americans exclusively.
I consider South/Central Americans= Hispanics. I mean thats what they call themselves.
Except for Brazil, which I consider it to be Latinos because they speak
Portuguese only.
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Nope. Hispanics and Latinos resulted from the mix of Native Americans (or Aboriginal, as they call them...sounds negative somehow) with the Spanish who came over looking for gold. Seriously.
The Aztecs, Incas, and all the other great central and south American cultures were here a loooooong dang time before any of my ancestors or their fellow European buddies (including the Portuguese) came along to mix it up and try to take it over.
Well I'm white. But I have NO IDEA what my ethnicity is really. Like, my roots and where I came from. I don't think I have any features that really stick out and say... this is this ethinicty or anything. So it is a mystery to me. All I know is I'm white and American. lol.
What do you guys think? See, All American! Actually that picture is kind of old from a few years back. I used to not have a door to my room so I used an american flag that my dad got from where he worked as a sort of curtain/door to my room. lol.
