wtf duz dis meen?

Question

harle… I have no African-American friends, or Mexican-American, Australian-American or any hyphenated-friends. I just have friends, American friends and non-American friends. I just use the word friends. OK sometimes smart or stupid-friends.

I'm against "hyphenated" Americans. Only those who hold duel citizenship should be
hyphenated. If an American wishes to acknowledge their heritage doesn't it make sense to be American-African, American-Mexican, America-Cuban...etc. There's no hyphen after the word American. If you must hyphenate please American first then your Hyphen.

Please pass it along, American then hyphen. If you must hyphenate at all

Answer 1

People hyphenate their names to hold on to their heritage without giving up being American. The only problem is that people use these names as replacements for the terms "black" or "indian" or whatever. I'm just dissapointed white people don't take advantage of this trend. I'm not white; I'm Welsh-American.

Answer 2

I was put off by your gangsta language. I agree. When they took the last census, I put myself down as German-American & the rest of the family, similar, because the only cateogory for me was white. There are many different "flavors" of white and they all have different cultures. German, Scottish, English, Swedish, Italian, etc. These people have all assimilated in a generation to American. Why don't others want to do the same?

Answer 3

I am Cuban - American as i was born in Cuba, not here, but dont get me wrong, I Love This Country.
