WHITE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN AFRICA ARE NOT AFRICANS AND NEVER WILL BE.

this isn’t a debate.

Africa is a continent not a race. This is a pretty ignorant statement. Africa has dozens and dozens of racial groups and ethnicities. If you’re born in Africa or a country in Africa you’re an African, a white African but a African all the same. Should at least attempt to learn about something so complicated before you speak authoritatively on a subject.

White people born in Africa are not ethnically African. There are thousands of ethnic groups in Africa, and there ARE ethnic groups that are not black, but not a single one of them are white. They descend from European colonisers and are therefore ethnically EUROPEAN. 

African is not a nationality. It’s a term that refers specifically to INDIGENOUS Africans. Nationality and ethnicity are two different things. Yes, a white person can have an African nationality, so they can be South African or Kenyan or Zimbabwean or whatever, but that does not make them ethnically African.

Perhaps you are the one who needs to learn about this subject before speaking authoritatively on it. Sincerely, an actual African person 

If you were born on the continent of Africa and live there your whole life I would consider you African. I was born in America and still reside there so I am American. If a Black man was born and raised in China I would consider him Chinese.

Nobody fucking asked you, Willis.

It really just depends if you're talking about nationality or race. Whites can be African as a nationality the same way black Americans are still considered African when referring to race
