Unless you have dual citizenship, your nationality is absolutely nothing but American!. Nationality is not the same thing as race, ethnicity or ancestral heritage!.

However, if you like to show pride in your heritage, there is nothing wrong with your stating you are an Asian American!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've always heard "Eurasian"!. The "Eur" is from European, which isn't exactly accurate, but your white ancestors did come from there, less than 400 years ago!. (Maybe 401 years ago, if they settled in Jamestown!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

you are an asian-american alright !. or if you like remove the dash it will still sound the same but remember its two words joined!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Asian-American!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
