Exactly what I was thinking.
Robert and people like him think it's ok for any other group to hyphenate themselves. European- Americans are the only ones who seem to not be allowed to show pride in their biological heritage. Well I say to hell with that.
But then again, if you take away all of the "fill in the blank"-Americans, America would still exist. Take away the European founders and that's no longer the case. So maybe we should just call ourselves Americans and let everyone else keep using hyphens, because they're nothing more than accessories.
