== Nomenclature == 

    'The term does not include white , Indian , or Arab immigrants from the African continent , and they are not considered Africans on the continent .' 
 What is the evidence for this statement? 
 These people are all considered as Africans in the demographics section of the Wikipedia article on Africa. Wikipedia is , therefore ,contradicting itself. 
     Morocco , Algeria , Tunisia , Libya , and Egypt are all African nations with Arabic populations . More than one hundred million North Africans are denied being recognised as Africans by whom?  

       The use of the term African American  seems to be restricted to people of West African origin . Perhaps the term West-African American would be more appropriate . As it stands  , the term African American is promoting ignorance of the ethnic diversity of the African continent.
