Someone who naturalized into the United States (i.e. green card) and was not an American at birth. This person is only American because they got the papers (i.e. citizenship) via the naturalization process and not by birth.
Look at that snobby, unappreciative Indian woman. Reaping the benefits of America yet gives no respect to her fellow citizens. She's a typical paper American.
