Black British, because their skin is colored, and are British.
Black American, same way.
"African-" implies you were born in Africa, "-American" imples you then immigrated to America.
Elon Musk is an African-American.
13% of the US population are Black Americans.
Are extremely dark-skinned people (for example from South India) who move to england called "Black"? I've never heard that and would be surprised but i'm curious.
They would be called black socially, but would be Indian-British til they revealed their accent, I would think.
The term African-American does not imply that one was born in Africa. It refers to Americans of African ethnicity (which includes Carribean-Americans of African descent). Chris Rock, Lebron James, and Michael Jordan are all African-Americans born in the US.
Elon Musk is not considered African-American according to the popular usage of the term as he is of European descent despite being born in South Africa.
