Seems like eveveryone can give you "their definition" of a word or phrase; I hope this doesn't go on to its (no apostrophe) logical conclusion, because it's (not the posessive) impossible to communicate unless symbols are universally understood.

When people try to bend meanings to their own uses, you have "African-Americans" who have never been to Africa, and whose ancestors have been here longer than many others. People whose ancestors entered the country in historical times are not Native Americans, but thank God and Mr. Webster, the child of immigrants can still be a Native New Yorker.
