Can a person be half-American?

I met a girl today who was born and raised in England. Her father is a European American and her mother is Japanese.

This just made me wonder: can a person be considered half-American?

I personally would say no as American is not an ethnicity (unless you're a Native American, of course) but only refers to citizenship.

Your thoughts?

    American is a NATIONALITY not a ethnicity. Since her father is American but she was born in England, she has dual citizenship.
