OK, so everyone else in on a rant today. It's my turn.

 

The Peoples' Democratic Republic of Portland is filled with people who identify themselves as '(Insert your gender/race/ethnicity/etc here)-Americans.'

 

As in 'As a (whatever)-American, I find that offensive.'

 

As if any gives a rat's @ss. This is America. You have the right to be offended. Blow your nose, wipe you eyes, and put some ice in a towel.

Thanks. I feel better. :D

What bothers me more than anything about the hypens is that we tend to recognize SOME and don't recognize OTHERS. If there are African-Americans and Asian-Americans, et al, shouldn't there also be European-Americans (both East- and West-)? Why does my "race" get slighted so much? Why do you hate left-handed East-European-Americans so much?

What I love is morons refering to black people in the UK as "African-American"...

 

Naomi Campbell, Scary Spice (Melanie Brown), Naomie Harris, Lennox Lewis, Chiwetel Ejiofor (The Operative from Serenity), I've heard all of them called "African-American" at some point, and the people don't even grasp the problem :D

That is awesome. We should call those people Stoopid-Americans.
