Hyphenated Americans

The curmudgeon grew up simply thinking he was an American.  Somehow, over time, Americans decided to hyphenate their country of origin with American.


Let's pause and get this straight - we all fled our country of origin to join the only country on earth that blends cultures.  Check your history - Europe is still in tribal warfare.


But for "political correctness" (a term that has its own built-in stupidity), there are actually Americans who feel they can't simply be "Americans."


Yet we persevere.
