I in agreement about the annoyance with hyphenations. I really find it difficult to use terms like African-American because like you say it's been a long time since any of their ancestors even set foot in Africa let along came from there. I can't call myself an Irish-American because my ancestors came Ireland over two hundred years ago and since then they've mixed with Cherokee, German, and I don't know what other backgrounds. My wife is an U.S. citizen and she's very proud of the fact. If someone is curious she'll say she came from Ecuador, but she never says she's Ecaudorian-American and we never fly an Ecuadorian flag like some of the locals here fly Mexican flags.<br /><br />Very insightful and indepth post. Hope you do very well with your book--it sounds like it has some important messages to impart.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
