To me, one thing is to claim verbally to have dual citizenship, and another is to prove it by showing both current passports.  USA, Canada and Spain comes to mind as countries that allow dual citizenships.  China does not, if you get another citizenship and they finds this out, you loose your birth rights and passport.

I'm a dual Canadian/U.S. citizen. It's possible.

 

However, I'm a U.S. citizen first and foremost.

Native North Americans did not recognize the border (49th parallel USA/Canada) for many years... has that changed?.....hmmmm ... got me thinking now.

Good Aussie joke.

The truth is , the overwhelming majority of Africans claiming that are  being dishonest. I tell all my friends to check the passport of any black person that says they are American, Canadian, or British. 

 

Now it is possible to hold duel citizenship (legally and quietly)

Yeah, I am sure that if it was a tall white guy with blonde hair and blue eyes coming from eastern europe, you wouldn't be questioning his dual citizenship.

You are just doing racial profiling.

Some people just carefully select what experience they want to have.

7 Africans claiming to be American, I met personally (they could not produce an American passport). Countless women have been duped by these liars. I have never heard of any Asian, white or eastern European doing this. Not even people from Latin America (I only met a few).

 

If anyone would like to share their experiences with this, please tell me. I assume black Americans would be infuriated with  black Africans doing this.

Sadly white people have very little reason to lie about this since Chinese like White people, but dislike Black people.

Sad but true.
