I imagined that they're native to France if they were born there

If France is anything like Portugal, people move back and forth between France and African countries.

I lived in Portugal for 2 years and met many Portuguese people who traveled between Angola and Portugal. It was difficult to tell them apart and race didn't seem to be a good predictor of whether or not a person was born in Angola or Portugal.

Your post reflects an exceptionally high level of either ignorance or racial insensitivity. Have you been to France?

She is a native of America. It would be confusing to call her a native American because we call indigenous people
