Most ethnic "Nubians" never use the expression "nubian american" or otherwise, those that live in the United States normally go by their nationality whether they are from Egypt or Northern Sudan. You rarely hear them say "nubian-american", they simply say "ana misr" or "Sudani". Until you get to know them they will say i am from aswani or i am nuba min misr or ana nuba min wadi halfa sudan or any other area within nuba.

Here is a nubian get together in Washington DC.

I hope this help people.

It was a Nubian who was being interviewed by Professor Gates who used the term Nubian-Americans to classify African-Americans.

To most people Nubia/Nubian refers to specific people in North Sudan and not some kind of pan-African identity. I feel sorry for them that their ethnonym is becoming so hijacked by wannabes.

They actually have recent verifiable ancestry from those places, unlike you.

I see, that's why I thought it was odd..

And like I said before the majority of most Central and West african tribes come came from the SUDAN. Where some of the earliest of NUBIAN culture began.
