I mean, they're American. But since their ancestry ties them to Africa, I fail to see what's so problematic about them wanting that added to their identity.

There may have been a colored Nazi soldier but when I say Nazi soldier, you immediately imagine a white soldier. The default position, the commonality of the majority, should not need special mention.
Let's be honest here... if someone said to me ''imagine an American right now.'' I'm most definitely imagining a white person...

I don't oppose that. If you feel it's a part of your identity, who am I to tell you otherwise? If I have kids, and they want to be referred to as Spanish-American, is that objectionable? I don't think so.
Black people in the US feel strongly enough about their African ancestry, they want it to be a part of who they are.

I guess I will want my kids to be Swedish-Israelis.
