Hyphenated

I’ve been thinking again. Yes, this is dangerous. If a person born in America decides to become a citizen of El Salvador, does said person become an American Salvadorian? How about a person of oriental decent born in Russia, is he or she an Asian Russian? Is there someone that is an African Swede? Or perhaps a Mexican Briton?

Then why do we have African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, or a host of other hyphenated Americans? Is it to keep the country divided so there are pawns for politicians to play with?

I am a British, German, Native, Heterosexual, Baptist American.

Surely I’m entitled to something.
