How come native, black and white people are considered "true americans"?

Question

Why are everyone else like Asians, East Indians, Mid Easteners Hispanics are all considered foreigners, no matter there citizenship?

I understand that the average black and white person in america is usually born here and/or have been here since america was "discovered".

But, still Asians can be native too and asian indians..Black People and White People are Not the only two races out there!

Answer 1

" Racial Triangulation Theory"

In general it states that Whites are seen as the top race in society... intelligent and insiders/natives of American culture.

Asians are "model minorities" hard working, intelligent,etc BUT they are always seen as foreigners.

Meanwhile Blacks are viewed negatively, lazy, dumb,etc. BUT they are insiders/natives of American culture.

Not my personal opinion, but you can check out the site for yourself.

Answer 2

What are you talking about? Usually the only people not considered as "true americans" are people that have foreign accents and that would be because they weren't born here so they aren't "true". The only "true americans" is natives anyway. Everyone else's family tree roots back to foreign land.

Answer 3

Are you kidding me? Blacks are not seen as Americans outside of the states.

Real Americans are the Aboriginals from Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Bolivia, and the very few we have in the USA anyway.

Answer 4

yeah your so true, its stupid, I mean some people really need to get their heads fixed, get brain surgery and snap out of this "dream" world their living in

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

I'm american. Though ethnicity wise, I'm Asian Indian, and I was born and raised in America. And, I get really upset when I can't be referred to as American in america as my nationality. For ethnicity, if people call me Indian, I'm fine with that. But my nationality is American, and only among other people who aren't White, Black, or Native (If I'm Asian American or Indian American, then Native are the only ones that should be called Americans).

It gets me sad, that among the majority in America, I will never be known as a 'true american'

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

We in Europe find it hilarious when Americans moan about immigrants

Answer 11

please cite a source.

who says "black and white people are considered "true americans".

i've never heard this in my entire life.

and technically Native Americans were the only ones Native (True) to America.  Anyone else, black, white, or Asians, East Indians, Mid Easteners, or  Hispanics are all "americans" by becoming citizens.

Asians, East Indians, Mid Easteners, or  Hispanics  are all newer to immigrating to America (happening more in recent times) so many have not attained citizenship, so they are actually foreigners.  because they're not citizens yet.

Answer 12

Because when America was founded the laws and everything else about America was only for whites..

Its really obvious because the history of those other races is not as big or as prevelant as those other races regarding the foundation of this country.

Native Americans were the first ones here, the white man came took over and brought some black people as labor to build it..

The first laws and legislations had nothing to do with no other people.

All Presidents have been white and for many years only white people were in congress. White are considered the majority and anyone else WAS considered black...

Plus a long time ago many other races were not allowed here and even had no reason to want to come here until it developed..

Only white europeans were migrating to america..

that is my opinion

Answer 13

No kidding.  Did you see that music video on Youtube recently.  Some pro-American pro-Obama thing.  It basically just features black people, a few whites, and maybe 1 or 2 Asians, completely leaving out any aboriginal Americans.

Black and white are the "establishment".  It used to be only white, but now it includes black people as well.  The blacks are just as bad as the whites, buying into this now that they're in.  They're just as bad at excluding people by race as the whites before them.

Answer 14

Not sure where you heard that, but ok?...

I guess only the Native Americans would be considered "true Americans," since they are the original inhabitants of the land.

I am white, and was born in the U.S., but "my people" originally came from Europe way back when, so we don't consider ourselves natives, even though we were born here. My roots are German and Spanish, so they were "transplants" to the U.S.
