WRONG! Elon Musk is an Afrikkaner-American. There is no uncertainty about where he hails from. Right-wing CACs tried that shit with John Kerry's wife back when he was running for Office. I think that she was born in Zimbabwe, but at any rate, she knows where she comes from and that would make her a Zimbabwean-American. They didn't come here from the continent, they came from a SPECIFIC country.

African-American is a generic term because of a lost/erased lineage.

Africa isn't a country, if we are doing nationality, it would be the country they're from. I agree.

That's precisely the point. The hyphenation is specific to the nationality of your origin or heritage. Not the continent.

Now that I think about it, Australians use a blanket term also and are the only exception that comes to mind because the entire landmass is one country.
