If you think this difference is irrelevant, then you have never been to the fights at the Olympic Auditorium when a 'Mexican' fought a 'Mexican-American.'

There is definitely a significant difference. But if were going to use the terms loosely then I nominate PBF as Kenya's biggest star ever.:cool:

Floyd was born in Michigan so he is American. Oscar was born in L.A so they are both American. Floyd's Father was born in Amory Mississippi so he too is American not Kenyan ?

Bro, I was clearly joking. You know being that black Americans are African Americans so I named a country in Africa. Clearly a joke in reference to Oscar being in the discussion as Mexico's biggest star.

ah..O.K. I find it weird that Americans often find it so necessary to prefix themselves with Irish, African, Mexican, Italian e.t.c. To Europeans and people in the rest of the world it comes across as being really lame. Just because your great grandfather was Irish does not make you Irish-American. It makes you a plastic Paddy.

I absolutely agree. I'm American and I think its silly as well because if we claim descent then were just picking and choosing where we want to stop our lineage and claim that nationality. Because originally we all descended from the same land.
