i admit i didn't read every response in this thread, but i just wanted to agree with everyone who is sick of the hyphenated labels. Seriously, nobody ever stopped to see if i wanted to be called an "Anglo-german-irish-scottish-african-icelandic-native-asian-welsh- .........-american" (if you're wondering, my family tree has 57 confirmed different nationalities..what can i say, my ancestors slept wiht just about anything that moved...
Besides, when you look at me, you see, "White", which kicks out about half of my ancestory or "American" which includes everything that is just me.
So, screw it all, i'm american, anyone born here is probably american unless there is some weird law with which i'm not familiar, but suffice it to say, there are no true "fill in the space here-Americans", just plain old, run of the mill, "American"
the rest just really drives me insane.
