Afropolitan 

An African who was educated in the US or Europe and spends a significant amount of time in those parts of the world.

It doesn't matter whether they are born abroad or not; the important thing is their global perspective on issues, as well as their mixed cultural identity.
Becky: Hey Kofi, you're so hot. Where are you from?

Kofi: Well, I was born in Ghana but have lived in New York for the past fifteen years, so I'm a true Afropolitan. I eat fufu with as much dexterity as I eat a philly cheese steak!
