Not long ago someone asked a friend whose last name is as unusual as mine what nationality his name represented. His response: “American first. Missourian second.” That’s a line I’m going to remember. I’m getting really tired of people who insist on breaking us up into smaller and smaller demographic groups.
Why we do this in the country I don’t know. Other countries clearly do not. Is there such a thing as an African-Canadian? How about an Italio-Frenchman? Or a Swedo-Englishman?
Let’s stop this hyphenated crap and realize we’re in this together.
