       How come the only US citizens who don’t aren’t described with a hyphen are white people? I’m Asian-American. My friends are African-American, Mexican-American, Arab-American, etc.Why aren’t white people described as German-American, French-American, English-American, etc.? You know, just to make it polite for everyone.#rhetorical #racism PS: Yes, I know, the “-American” suffix was an attempt at inclusivity, but it has now turned into a parody of itself, implying that without it, an Asian-American would be an Asian, and the subtext is that this would mean they aren’t American.

       @drahardja I do see "German-American" from time to time.Speaking as a German, I don't mind as such. But I do think they sometimes get a little silly when they claim to be "more German" than modern German citizens who just happen to have a different skin color.
