Native American = race is Native to America(USA).
African American = race is native to Africa but they live in America.
Polish American = race is native to Poland but they live in America.
etc, etc, etc...
I think these terms are very appropriate. They show respect and pride for the persons race (ethnic background) first and then distinguish them by saying that they reside in America.
