Only Americans think and talk like this. Nobody outside of the US says, I was born in North America therefore I am American. “America” = citizen of the United States.
Yeah except no American thinks "America" means the continent of North America.
Right. "American" includes both North America and South America.
Wikipedia shows Grant Fisher is Canadian-born, meaning he is not native to America. Since LetsRun likes to call out every East African born American, it is only fair for them to call out Grant Fisher as not being born in America.
How HOKA ONE ONE athlete Laura Galvan went from a child running prodigy in Mexico to food specialist in America to the top of the Latinx running field.
Your a but, but, but person so that means your wrong and you know it.
1) I have no idea what you think I'm wrong about.
2) I'm more of a boob person, though this is also not relevant.
But, but, buts read this on how Americans are US citizen. The 14 Amends does apply. If Fisher mom is a US born citizen then he would be considered a citizen by his moms birth.

"He was a dual-citizen at birth. American on account of having an American mother, Canadian on account of being born in Canada (and also of having a Canadian father)."
This still has nothing to do with the 14th amendment.
I think it’s fairly obvious why LR uses the -born suffix for various performers. It’s the same reason track and field news has a “non-kenyan” steeplechase record list. To most people it is fairly obvious that East Africans are inherently the best distances runners in the world, and when one of them moves here it is to be expected that they will completely dunk on most of our athletes that were born here. That is why the distinction is important. No matter what the “everybody is equal” crowd whines on and on about, seeing a guy from east Africa run a 12:53 is not nearly as amazing as a white guy doing it. Sorry, not sorry.
