Neither Shorter nor Manzano were born in the U.S, but both were raised in America and did all of their running here (unlike Lagat). Despite this, some say that Manzano is Mexican, while nobody would claim that Shorter is German and not American.
I'm not a big fan of Manzano, but why do some of you think he isn't an American? Is it because he isn't white?
And if that's the case, would you consider German Fernandez to be an American?
