Is it wrong to not want to learn about my "roots"?

I am african american and puerto rican but when people look at me they only see “black”. so when i say that i’m not that into learning about slavery and things of that nature, they dont understand. for one i’m not really “african” american anyway. im american. my parents aren’t from africa and neither are their parents. another thing is i dont get offended by slavery becuase people have slaves everywhere it wasn’t just limited to blacks. i would like to hear your opinions on what im saying.
