Ah, here is a major difference between viewpoints, then. By US standards,
anyone who is a citizen is  an American, regardless of national origin. I'm
guessing Bell became a citizen. He did his work in the US.  To us, that
makes him an American.  At a 98% level, we are a nation of immigrants.

In the US, nationality is not a matter of being part of a certain ethnic
group.  The people who are nationalized citizens are just as much Americans
as I am.
