What is a yellow-green colour?

[skystar30097]

What does it mean by yellow-green, is that green colour which tends to yellow or vice versa?
What about Indian-American :?::?:

Yes, I would say that yellow-green can be thought of of a yellowish green. If you say "yellow car" it's obvious, right? So I think the "green" is being modified by "yellow".

An Indian American is a person from India who is also an American citizen.

 

[SoothingDave]

Or a person of Indian heritage who is an American.

 

[skystar30097]

You mean somebody who was born in America but is originally an indian.

 

[SoothingDave]

You mean somebody he was born in America but is originally an indian.

Someone who was born in America whose parents (or earlier ancestors) are from India.

What about Indian-American?

Are you sure you don't mean American Indian?

 

[emsr2d2]

Someone who was born in America is an American. Their ancestry might be Indian but their nationality (ie their passport) is American.

Someone who was born in America is an American. Their ancestry might be Indian but their nationality (ie their passport) is American.

That's true in terms of nationality. But in the US many people do identify with their ethnic or racial groups. While others decry "hyphenated Americans."

Yes, it is confusing. I am an American-Indian (my grandmother was a native, or an Indian). My friend is a Japaneses-American (his parents came from Japan) and I used to work for an Iranian-American (he was born in Iran and immigrated to the United States). We had customers who came from India (Indian-Americans, or, Indians). I have friends (Mexican-Americans) who tell me that I should be careful with using the word "American" to only mean those people who live in the United States as Mexico is also part of the Americas.

In some contexts, everyone in the western hemisphere is an "American." Like the new pope is the first American pope.

But the term is more usually used to speak of citizens of the USA. Especially when used by such.
