All-Americans

I've a simple suggestion to all those 'citizens' of america who insist on labeling themselves with a hyphen; i.e Chinese-American, Italian-American, African-American, and so on.

If you must identify yourself with an ethnic group or nationality then place such labels --- AFTER THE HYPHEN.

So if you think you're mexican heritage is important, then refer to yourself a American-mexican, or American-irish, or American-jew, or American-negro, get the idea? Instead of separating yourself from other americans, join them, and let them know that your old world connections are secondary to your American Identity. This I do believe will make for a more perfect Union.
