"In this country we have no place for hyphenated Americans." Theodore Roosevelt
So true. Saying "African American" indicates that you trace your loyalties/heritage/etc. to Africa before America.
The only time I'd "allow" people to use terms like that is in cases such as dual-citizenship cases - and even then, I'd probably end up calling them from whatever nation they currently live in.
