hyphen-American


the suffix applied to terms for non-white ethnic groups (i.e. african-american) to indicate that american it’s describing is different from other americans– because as everyone knows, “american” is an ethnicity. and if one is not wasp, he isn’t deserving of the singular appellation, and must have a stupid prefix slapped onto it before it’s considered “accurate”.

origin: the united states’ incompetency when addressing its diversity.
mr. smith is a citizen of the us and is of german descent. therefore he is american.

mrs. johnson is a citizen of the us and is of english descent. therefore she is american.

mr. obama is a citizen of the us and is of partial african descent. therefore he is– wait, what was that? that one would actually be african-hyphen-american.
