Hyphenated-Americans

I am in full agreement with Teddy Roosevelt.
If you feel the need to point out that you are a Shithole-American. Maybe you need to go back to the shithole you are so proud of claiming.
Either you are an American or you are not. There is no room for a hyphen.
There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all ... The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic ... There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else. - Teddy Roosevelt

Italian-Americans ruining it for every one.

The hyphen is useful as a descriptive but absolutely abhorrent as an identity. We are Americans.

I told my fiance there wasn't going to be any - between her last name and my last name if she wanted to marry me. I'm old school.

I tend to agree but you can't have it both ways. You can't decry the use of hyphens but tell people you disagree with to go back to their country.

Yes, I can.
Go back to wherever it is you place before America.
(Your shithole here)-American. Go back to the shithole that is first in your heart.

Then don't bitch when people hold on to the hyphenated descriptors.

Oh, I've hurt some pussy-arse admins feelings. Must be a Shitholer-American.
Anchoring threads.
Here, you butthurt, little bitch

You're not even making sense.
That's the whole point. You want to hold onto to the hyphen? Go back.

My point is that hyphen use is encouraged when background is used as a means of attack. If you want people to think of themselves as Americans, don't treat them unlike other Americans.

Then call yourself an AMERICAN...not "I'm a Shithole-American"..No, cocksucker, you're a shitholer. No American in it.

Now we're getting into the chicken and egg argument.

Too Eurocentric. No Asian-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Klingon-Americans, Martian-Americans, African-Americans, blah, blah, blah, so we must discount everything TR said in that statement.
