I believe you are wrong! Ethnicity describes what [nationality] one might be; it is a synonym of racial, cultural, etc. If anything, African American is the poorest choice; remember, Africa is a continent and not a country. One might be of African descent; in reality, most slavery descendents of Africa, in the United States, and elsewhere along the slave routes, haven’t a clue as to which country in Africa their ancestors were stolen from. Most black people use that description because it’s vogue or trendy. Just like negro, which has evolved, by way of Webster's, from a adjective to a noun. Go figure!
BigDicki got it right the first time.

Now this is not logic! If you read my post, I said most, but I think I can include all. Nevertheless, to do a DNA trace, the DNA has to match someone on the continent. If you know you history of the slave trade, the slaves were separated because the traders didn't want the slaves who had common knowledge to communicate with one another! And, throw in all the race mixing by the slave masters, you'd have a pretty interesting soup! Eventually the roots are going to stop at the port of entry!
So, the question is: Where does one start if they don't know what country their slave ancestors came from? Remember the geography of African countries has changed dramatically since 1619! There are 47 independent countries on the continent of Africa, as of this writing. So what point are you trying to make?

Nope, I definitely know our history, and about the African diaspora.
But you may want to peep the links, folks such as Oprah, Whoopi Goldberg,
Isaiah Washington, LeVar Burton, Chris Tucker; film director Spike Lee; and
former U.N. ambassador Andrew Young, Skip Gates, India Arie, Kimberly Elise
Judge Glenda Hatchett, B. Smith, Blair Underwood and many others have
been able to trace their roots using mitochondrial DNA .

Also there was a four part series on PBS:
http://www.pbs.org/previews/africanamericanlives/AFRICAN AMERICAN LIVES, an unprecedented four-part PBS series, takes Alex Haley's Roots saga to a whole new level through moving stories of personal discovery. Using genealogy, oral history, family stories and DNA analysis to trace lineage through American history and back to Africa, the series provides a life-changing journey for a diverse group of highly accomplished African Americans: a neurosurgeon, a TV host, an astronaut, a music entrepreneur, a sociologist, a movie star, a minister and a comedian. Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., W.E.B. Du Bois professor of the Humanities and chair of African and African American Studies at Harvard University, hosts the series. Participants include Dr. Ben Carson, Whoopi Goldberg, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Dr. Mae Jemison, Quincy Jones, Dr. Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, Chris Tucker and Oprah Winfrey........
