If i was born in America.....?

Question

If I was born in America, and so were my parents, but my grandparents were born in Germany, that means I'm not German, but I have German blood?

any answers?

Answer 1

Ethnically your are of German decent but your Nationality is American.

Had you been born in  Germany then your nationality would be German.

Answer 2

You are American PERIOD. There are no Hyphen Americans.

I have Great Grandparents and Grandparents who are Native American, Irish, German, Italian and French. Last time I checked I am still just a plain old American.

Answer 3

I was born in the USA. My Mom was born in The Netherlands. I consider myself to be an American of Dutch heritage. I would consider you an American of German heritage.  

Answer 4

You're a German-American.

I think your children can just be considered American though.

Answer 5

Exactly correct.  I am from German blood.  I'm not a German American and neither was my father but my grandparents were both from Germany.  I have no ties to Germany and Germany has no ties to me.  I'm an American.  There's no such thing as a "German American" unless you were born a German citizen and came to America and got an American citizenship.  This is why I say there's very few African Americans, most are just plain black Americans.
