Question

Japanese americans born in the u.s. of american-born parents are called

Answer 1

The correct answer is Sansei.
The word san means three, so this term would refer to the third generation. It refers to people whose grandparents are Japanese-born immigrants - their parents were born in America, but their grandparents weren't. The terms are issei (first generation), nisei (second generation), sansei, and yonsei (fourth generation).
