As long as the parents are citizens, you are too. I have no idea what is going on with immigration in this country, but I do know that if you can't speak the language, don't move here.

Ummm...there really isn't any specific ethnic/language thing going on with Americans...that's the whole point of America. Hard to find a "definition" of an American following those terms.
For me, it's more of what you stand for. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd give you some examples.

Hopefully someone will come along to tell you - I can't be bothered to.

Would an American Indian be considered a "true" American?
I might be 50% true American if so...

Bianca Sissing is Miss Swiss '03?
If you had 10 women lined up from different countries I would probably not pick her as being Swiss...
She looks Italian or Brazillian or Persian or Tahitian or something---
