African(s) may refer to:

• Anything from or pertaining to the continent of Africa:
  • People who are native to Africa, descendants of natives of Africa, or individuals who trace their ancestry to indigenous inhabitants of Africa

To be French all you need is French nationality, to be an African all you need is African ancestry.
To be honest, most Africans I know prefer to be called a nigger (Preto), I live in Lisbon, they almost despise being called African, but refer to their or their parents country of birth. The funny thing is, the European racists/ignorants do not call them Africans either, but nigger (Preto). There was even this university professor (I do not remember his name) who wrote that an ''African'' born in Europe is not an African at all, but a nigger (Preto). He did not call them Europeans, tho.
You see - Africa is a place, nigger (Preto) is a political construct, one to denigrate.
Yes, I get it, people have a right to call themselves WHAT they want.
