...no hyphenated label needed just AMERICAN
I enjoy every moment of hyphenations on this, and every St. Patrick's Day, Steuben's Day, Bastille Day, Dia de Boricuas, West Indian Carnival/ Labour Day Jumpout, Salute to Israel, etcetera, etcetera.
Puts a smile on my face and a jaunt in my step.
Just saying.
Enjoying the festivities is GREAT!
But that doesn't make you a:
Irish-American
Germany-American
French-American
Puerto Rican-American
West Indian-American
Israeli-American
African-American
Anglican-American
Etcerta-American
Ecterta-American
Just an American.
I, and/or my children, can neatly pigeonhole ourselves into several of those groups and still graciously accept and rejoice in our Americanism, w/o denying other aspects of how we came to be who we are.
Anglican-American?.... is that a Protestant Tory who came back home again. And again:B;):c.
