Vampire American is a term used to refer to person of Vampyre ethnic origin who is a citizen of or immigrant to the United States. Throughout American history, like all immigrants, Vampire Americans have endured discrimination and negative portrayals in mainstream media due to their cultural dispositions for evil and consuming the blood and life force of others. Despite these factors, the Vampire American community continues to make strides in American society, simultaneously achieving in academia, science, politics, and business while preserving their blood-sucking cultural identity. Some Vampire Americans prefer the more culturally-neutral term Undead Americans.
