"Ich bin Berliner" means "I am a citizen of Berlin". "Ich bin ein Berliner" usually means the same. In some cases it can also mean "I am a doughnut", so it depends on the context. In this context it was very clear that he meant the first meaning. Kennedy did not make a mistake. No one in Germany ever taught that the second meaning could be meant and just a few persons heard of this false urban legend.

And for all Amerocans who say, that nobody would have thought of the doughnut: Ask the German! Every German will first think of the doughnut (actually it's a doughnut without whole)

[Johannes Ridinger]

And BehnamLot:

They also call them "Krapfen" and not "Pfannkuchen". Pfannkuchen are pancakes!!

[Johannes Ridinger]

So, as a German i say: Everybody would think of the jelly doughnut! It's because he used the article "ein". And citizens all say "Ich bin Berliner"

[Behnam Lot]

"Ein" does not just refer to nonhuman objects. It can also refer to human males.

"ein" refers to a nonhuman object, "berliner", where he was can mean a citizen of berlin, or a jelly doughnut. of course everyone knew what he meant, its like a mexican immigrant using double negatives in english, we all know what they mean but its still wrong. but he did in fact make a mistake regardless of whether or not people understood him. a nonhuman berliner is in fact a jelly doughnut, sir.
