It would be about as silly as my calling myself: English-Irish-German-Polish-Native American-American!
Booyaa! Now there's some silly correctness for you that you'll never remember. What's the point? I'm American. Period. This is where I live, this is where I always lived. In my view, that's where it ends.
Here's the thing: we have no problem saying "white person", WTF gives when it comes to saying "black person"?
It's a double standard.
The fact is people come in all different groups. It's the way it always has been. Why be so ashamed of who you are that you need to relabel and scream racism or "incorrectness" if not everyone claims your new label?
