Who are the 'real' Americans?

[Operator 1,927]

Native Americans. Thuh! The name American is in their name. lol

By that logic then so is the American Staffordshire Terrier.

What defines a 'real' American as opposed to a fake one?

I am sure that...

some will say early "White" settlers from Europe and their descendants.

some will say "American Indians" that settled here way before white European took over.

some will say "Anyone who has legal US citizenship or residency".

some will say "legally or not, anyone who's living in US".

some will say only those "Christians".

From a politically and socially correct (and realistic) standpoint,

I'd say the real American is...someone who is a legal US citizen and fully agrees to the

Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America

From a enlightened humane point of view, all living creatures

share the entire earth, an super ultra tiny speckle in the infinite universe.

And if I was the God, I would remove the all thoughts having to do with

any type of greed, ownership. and control...

be it land, country, religion, spouse, materialistic things, etc.,

and implant more harmonious sharing thoughts.

I'd say whomever was here first and settled. By that definition, you must have at least a few dna markers of those ancestors to be considered a 'real' american.
