I think the "American" part refers, right-or-wrong, to North America, South
America, or "the Americas," without getting into one nation or another.
Similarly, I had a professor from England who was just a few generations
removed from Africa, and she worked in the USA as a resident alien. How would
one refer to her "race"? Certainly she wasn't an African-American, since she
wasn't an American.
