Some people just get offended too easily and then make a big fuss about it. Personaly i'd rather be called chinese or asian than asian-american. The american part is so useless and redundant. Describing my citizenship does not help anyone pick me out of a group.
As for calling people by their skin color or whatever, i believe its best to just go by what stands out more and easily said. As long as the way you said it is not said with insulting intentions and what you call me actually describes me somehow, i'm fine with it.
If you need to distinguish yourself in a database, then go right ahead and add as many hyphens as you need, but when you're just trying to point someone out or paint a rough picture, just go with what is simplest.
PC is a load of crap anyways.
