I think if a black South African who immigrates to the United States in the 1990s is considered African-American then Charlize Theron should also be considered African-American. I don't see the difference. Both are Americans from Africa. Neither ever lived through slavery or Jim Crow. If we are talking about distinguishing between them by color then there is ""black"" and ""white"". 19:26, 17 June 2015  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.175.111.225
