Hyphenated Americans

What is all this crap with hyphenated Americans?

Irish-American, Jewish-American, Afro-American, Mexican-American, they go on and on.

STOP IT. You are all Americans. I neither want, nor need to know where you came from. We all came here from somewhere else and killed off or moved the Americans that were here. Remember?

You are Americans. You've moved to a new place and set up home. You are here. You are one of us.

You are NOT hyphenated. If you think you need to hyphenate, just do it in private. Publicly, you are AN AMERICAN.

Jeeze.
