I believe he is American. He was born in Pennsylvania, although I do not know what his family heritage is. He full name is Brandon Cole Margera.

Yep, it's hard to say...I've found nothing so far except his mother April Margera was born in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, and his father Philip Ron "Phil" Margera was born in Concordville, Pennsylvania.

It is a great possibility (referred to on his show)that he is IA or Italian American. West chester, PA. and the immediate surrounding is rich in IA population and culture.

Bam first broke onto the national scene as a 13 year old pro-skater known for his creative street style and wild antics. As a teenager he created the CKY video series, which featured skating, pranks and stunts, all filmed in his hometown of West Chester, Pennsylvania. The combination of Bam’s unique on-screen personality and the tremendous grassroots success of the CKY video series became the platform for the hit MTV show “Jackass”, “Jackass, The Movie” and the later MTV “Viva La Bam” series.

From that, I assume he's American.

Margera is usually referred to as "Don Vito", a nickname given to him by nephew Bam referring to his near unintelligible speech reminiscent of Don Vito Corleone, of The Godfather, as well as saluting the Margera family's Italian heritage. Bam's hero and HIM singer Ville Valo used to use the nickname "Don Vitto" which Bam borrowed to refer to his uncle Vince. It comes from the Finnish swearword "vittu", meaning "vagina".
