they gonna act dumb ! ppl dedicated to misunderstanding will always be insistent on misunderstanding cos if not ,they'd have to accept they were wrongthats his citizenship not his heritage or ethnicity...
Going by youre logic then Lupita Nyongo is mexican because she was born in Mexico even tho her parents are from KENYA.
If lupita and elon applied for american citizenship then they would either have to denounce their previous citizenship or have dual citizenship but that doesn't change their heritage which ALWAYS comes first.
That is why there is a hyphenate. The first acknowledges the HERITAGE and the second acknowledges the CITIZENSHIP. Hence Lupita Nyongo is a KENYAN-American
Elon musk is a British -South African
Mia Love is a HAITIAN-AMERICAN
Al Pacino is an ITALIAN-AMERICAN
we didnt start the hyphenate...that was cacs 100 years ago:
There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all ... The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic ... There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
- 1915, President Theodore Roosevelt in speaking to the largely Irish Catholic Knights of Columbus at Carnegie Hall on Columbus Day
and if you look at how they broke that down....HERITAGE/ETHNICITY (country or people of origin) - CITIZENSHIP.
Musk himself said he identifies as a brit... I am from a British/English background, not an Afrikaner background
so his identity is a british - south african and if he has citizenship here then a british-american.
I have no clue why you motherfuckers insist on arguing this particular point![]()
