It Would Just Be An Elephant
Ok. What about if it has a child? Is that child an African Elephant or just solely an American Elephant?
The dialog I'm trying to start is this:
Does our ancestry determine our identity or does our place of birth? Obviously I am of African ancestry but have never even been on the continent. I was born in America. That makes me an African American right.
But let's say I moved to Japan and had a child. Would that child be then considered an African American Asian?
That depends what part of America are you sending it to?
To the point in red, it's not either/or...both your ancestry and your place of birth determine your identity. Your place of birth is the ecology in which you are reared and your ancestry is the foundation on which you stand. If we look at the term "African-American" you can see that the African denotes our heritage and the American let's you know that we are in the USA. So if you want to understand our history and our current position you would need to research how African people were treated in the USA.
To the point in blue, if you had a child in Japan with an African-American your child would be Afro-Japanese (if Japan granted the child citizenship which they probably wouldn't).
This question posits on the assumption that black Americans retained their original African genetic profile. They didn’t. Majority are a hybrid of African, European, and Indigenous bloodlines. So no, an African elephant that has moved to America + has been breeded with other elephant breeds is no longer a pure bread African elephant.
A black person that moves to Japan and has a child, that child would be Afro-Japanese.

Matter not where the Elephant come from, but that fact it is a Elephant - that still exists on Earth. Protect our wildlife!

The only real difference is Environmental dietary may affect genetics. Notice how the Asia Elephant is only slightly smaller than African Elephants yet they are both equally strong and can serve well in it's terrains.
Many Asian elephants were used as vehicles in early years as they were easily trainable to marsh in highland swamps, where African elephants congregate in family herds more in open grassland fields so were revered as a sacred animal for it's honorable family system (which lead to minimal domestication.)
Sorry if I didn't sound scientific I am in a bad mood but the question was well worth answering! Hope you got what you sought!
