Is Floyd Mayweather African American?

[FMJ The Best]

He isn't from Africa necessarily. He was born here. His parents and there parents were also born here. So doesn't that just make him an American of a darker skin tone? I've never understood the necessity of the word African in African American when generation after generation has been born here. My ethnicity and racial make up is that of Latin descent, so I am Puerto Rican by blood but I am an American when it comes down to it. Doesn't the same logic apply here?

It's about race, he's an african descendant living in america and culturally he's an american, hence african-american.

If Mexican-Americans "aren't Mexican" to the likes of Flawless and Burner then African-Americans aren't African either.. they are just Americans.

[UnDeniable]

He is African - American

Just like Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins etc
