Born in America = American...no other label needed. Born in another country but now an American citizen = (Insert country or area here)-American.
Hell, if we want to get this dang ethnic, I am a Scottish-German-French-Irish-English-Dutch-Native American. (Not in that order).
Part of the reason racism still exists is because of the self-applied labels that people demand be used.
My father was born in Texas in 1918, my mother in Missouri in 1920. The kindest words I ever heard them use to describe a black person was "colored" until the 1980's. I can't fault them, they were raised in a time when "Negro" was a proper descriptive term. Funny thing is, my parents were not really prejudiced. They taught me that God created all people, but he made each of us different in some ways. They also taught me that I should not judge a person on race, gender, handicap, or any other physical difference. I was taught that a certain word should never be used to describe a black person, yet I hear comedians and rap artists use the same word to describe other black people. If a white person says that word, it is considered a hate crime, and the person can be arrested. If a black person says it...they should ALSO be arrested. If it is a law applied to everyone except black people, is this not discrimination?

OK, I will come down from my soapbox.
