If someone was born in America, was raised in America, then they're pretty much an American, just having a distance relation who's from Not-America doesn't make it any less American.
take my cousin for instance, my dad's brother move to America yonks ago, my cousin was born in New York and was raised there, what pissed me off about him is he claimed to be 'half British' when he's definitely 100% American, half British JUST because his father is British.
