>>I don't mind, as a matter of fact I like, the diversification of our country, but I want Americans who are qualified to fill the positions. I don't want Afro-Americans, Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, Jewish-Americans or anything else hyphenated - just Americans. If a person wants to cling to their heritage, that's fine, but don't call yourself both. I'm not an Irish-American. I am an American who has roots in Ireland, Scotland, England and Germany, and who knows before that. Even so, it is American or it is otherwise for me.

>>I'm an ugly, arrogant, bigoted, war-mongering American...does that count? <s>

>Well a war-mongering individual isn't geographically specific. The rulers of most of the middle-east fit that category - note the hyphen in that one too. lol
The incorrect hyphen? ;-)
