Rev. Dr. Davidson has brought up an important question: Why do so many Americans hate America so much that they have to dilute being American with some hypenated appelation?
African-American
Atheist-American
Asian-American
Baby-Eating-Wicker-American
and the like?
It's all very confusing. I knew an American who was born in Jamaica, who was dark as night. She was horrifically offended if some liebral white person called her "African-American", since she'd never set foot in Africa, and she considered herself simply American.
What's the deal with this? Can anyone explain it? Is being American simply not good enough for these hyphenated people?
