If my parents are Danish, but I was born in America, what am I?

That is the beauty of America: no matter what, if you are born in America, you are American. If your parents are from Denmark, you are first-generation Danish-American. There is a reason your parents emigrated. People from all over the world dream of raising their families in the U.S.

You are both an American citizen (by birth) and a Danish critizen (by descent). What language you speak is immaterial; you are a citizen of both nations.

You are legally an American citizen. This makes you American if you do not identify as Danish and Danish-American if you identify with both cultures.
