The xenophobic OP aside...I really don't understand the reasoning behind calling oneself "whatever"-American. I'm just American. I have ancestors from England, Denmark, France, and America (I'm about 1/4 Cherokee/Choctaw). I'm pasty white in the winter and bronze nicely in the summer...I was a brown baby/child and my skin started lightening in my late teens. I can appreciate celebrating diversity and ancestry...but the labeling of something-American really puzzles me, and IMO, causes more friction than anything.
