>What kind of Americans? Say they are a Sioux-Polish American from Chicago and an Irish-Mexican-Mongolian American from Houston, then yeah, why not call the kid Chinese.

It's still American.

(At least to us Europeans) what matters is the culture of the parents/kid, not the nationality or the ethnicity itself.

A 3rd generation Irish-American is an American, not an Irish, and a 3rd generation Chinese-American is by all means an American too.
