American Australians are Australians who are either migrants or descended from migrants from Anglophone North America â€” usually the United States and its territories. This can include persons of European, African American, Hispanic, Native American, Asian or Pacific Islander backgrounds.

The 2001 census recorded 44,255 Americans, 1,203 African Americans, 2,606 Hispanic (North American), 1,856 Native North American Indians, and 261 North American Not Further Defined.

Australia records the nationality of its immigrants but does not make distinctions. If you are American, you are American and it matters not whether your great, great grandmother was European, west African or Apache. We don't worry about your origins here, just who you are.

There are black people in Australia from many parts of the world. Once they are citizens, they are Australians not XXX Australians where XXX is some racial or cultural qualifier. We have our own black people too, the Aboriginals.

For some reason the USA likes racial qualifiers and uses the racist term "African American". We don't do that. There are many Americans in Australia and some of them would have African ancestry but how many have that ancestry there is no way of knowing.

I take it that if a white person was born in Africa , migrated to America & became a citizen he would be an African American.

His children, & their children & so on would also be referred to as African Americans.

Or is this identification only to be used on blacks? If so, isn't that being racist?

But Why??

hardly any.

The only ones I have known, are ex american Navy or military either who have married Australians or are living here otherwise.

With roughly 100,000 Americans living in Australia, and 12% of all Americans being of African decent... The answer would be 12,000 if African Americans were as likely to expatriate as other racial groups. In reality, African Americans are significantly less likely to expatriate, so I'd say the answer is around 6,000 +/- 2,000. Not very many.

Ummm....I've never been to Australia, but I would imagine that not many African AMERICANS live there. I'm sure there are a few who have moved from the United States to Australia, but there are no native African AMERICANS, because African AMERICANS are from America.

well there are black people in austraila they are called aborigines and look very similar to black people but are not from africa originally.

Now when you say african americans do you mean just black people from africa or black people from the USA?

I can tell you that you wont find very many black americans but you probably could find many people of african origin in the major cities of austraila.
