	Hyphenated American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term hyphenated American is an epithet from the late 19th century to refer to Americans who consider themselves of a distinct cultural origin other than the United States, and who claim to hold allegiance to both.
		By contrast other groups have embraced the hyphen arguing that the American identity is compatible with alternative identities and that the mixture of identities within the United States strengthens the nation rather than weakens it.
		The term "hyphenated American" was popularized in the 1910s by President Theodore Roosevelt, responding to the increasing fractionalization within the nation along ethnic lines.

	§ 38. hyphenated Americans. 6. Names and Labels. The American Heritage Book of English Usage. 1996
		Naturalized immigrants to the United States and their descendants are sometimes referred to as hyphenated Americans, a term that dates to the end of the 19th century and that reflects an earlier tendency in American English to hyphenate such forms as Irish-American, German-American, and Mexican-American both as nouns and as adjectives.
		Contemporary usage frowns on hyphenating these constructions, especially when used as nouns; thus, The new mayor is an Asian American; she is the first Asian-American (or Asian American) mayor in the city’s history.
		In the case of Native American, neither the noun nor the adjective is usually hyphenated.

	Hyphenated American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Hyphenated Americans are Americans who are referred to with a first word indicating an origin or ancestry in a foreign country and a second term (separated from the first with a hyphen) being "American" (e.g., Japanese-American, Afghan-American, African-American).
		The construction is meant to suggest that these individuals straddle two worlds—one experience is specific to their unique ethnic identity, while the other is the broader multicultural amalgam that is Americana.
		They argue that the hyphen denotes dual nationalism (and implies inability to be accepted as truly American) while the non-hyphenated form uses their ancestral origin as an adjective for "American."

		Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul.
		The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic.
		That by itself promotes the idea of hyphenated Americans and this existed waaaay before the Hispanic community was even a blip on the radar.

	Theodore Roosevelt Advocates Americanism
		For an American citizen to vote as a German-American, an Irish-American, or an English-American, is to be a traitor to American institutions; and those hyphenated Americans who terrorize American politicians by threats of the foreign vote are engaged in treason to the American Republic.

		'''Hyphenated Americans''' are Americans who are referred to with a first word indicating an origin or ancestry in a foreign country and a second term (separated from the first with a hyphen) being "American" (e.g., African American, Japanese American).
		European American, as opposed to White, Caucasian, or Non-hispanic White, was coined in response to the increasing racial diversity of the US, as well as to this diversity moving more into the mainstream of the society in the latter half of the 20th century.
		The term is meant to discourage a dichotomous view of the racial landscape, in which "Whites" are conceived as separate from the rest of the racial groups, which have hyphenated terms denoting ancestry.

	America's Debate -> Assimilation
		Surely rural Americans in the western states (exclude the bigger cities on the west coast) are not anywhere near assimilated to the culture as might be seen in the larger eastern cities.
		America is founded on its citizens and their beliefs; as fairly small cultures and groups of people come to America and conform to the general constraints of our country, America as a whole begins to assimilate to broad foundation, its citizens.
		European Americans don't call themselves European Americans because they are the majority and don't have the same need to find that "common ground" because they are represented everywhere.

	On The Third Hand : Strange…
		Americans were by default mostly of English descent, and the common thought of the day excluded other immigrants, and slaves, from the calulations of who was American.
		I suspect that the rise of the mindset behind hyphenation coincided with the rise of ethnic voting blocs in the late 19th century, such as Boss Tweed’s machine in New York.
		The push-pull between nativists and immigrant groups created unity among immigrant communities, heightened their senses of both and led to the hyphenated labels we have today, or at least the right mindset.

		The proximity of the two countries, a continuous influx of new arrivals, concentration in predominantly Mexican barrios and colonias and Spanish-language media enable Mexican Americans to maintain ties with relatives in Mexico and the Spanish language to a degree not possible for other immigrant groups with their respective countries of origin and native tongues.

	Lone Star Times » No, no, no — hyphenation is still a bad idea
		The plan to adopt the American practice of identifying ethnic heritage will be controversial with some British ethnic minorities likely to claim that it is racist.
		The problem, of course, is that hyphenating was never really viewed as a way of highlighting an ethnicity’s American roots in this country.
		Even stranger than using hyphenated ethnicity terms is the fact that the British government has to officially change these terms.

		For Americans of European descent, even though many of our ancestors were persecuted or brought here as indentured servants, there was no immediate, violent, purposeful erasing of culture.
		The less Americans have in common with each other, the less they can even communicate with each other, the more they accent their differences which are now becoming numerous, the more they are at each others throats, the more likely they are to keep their nose out of my business and the world's business.

		Naturalized immigrants to the United States and their descendants have sometimes been termed hyphenated Americans in reference to the tendency to hyphenate such ethnic compounds as Irish-American and Polish-American.
		This term has come under strong criticism as suggesting that those so designated are not as fully American as “unhyphenated” citizens, and it is best avoided in all but historical contexts.

		Most Americans consider it superfluous and unnecessary to adopt a description that expands on something we are proud to be identified as, and admired for being.
		Hyphenation is simply another manifestation of diversity that will rent asunder our unique American culture that has become a model for assimilation and acculturation by disparate peoples, admired and applauded around the world.

		Without the hyphens, there is potential confusion about whether "light" applies to "blue" or "paint", whether "twentieth" applies to "century" or "invention", etc. Hyphens are generally not used in noun-noun or adverb-adjective compound modifiers, for example:
		Hyphens are also used to denote syllabification, as in syl-lab-i-fi-ca-tion.
		However, the use of hyphens has in general been steadily declining, both in popular writing and in scholarly journals.

	McGreevey Nationality Title Invalid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		When New-Jersey Governor James E. McGreevey announced that he was a homosexual, he did so in a manner and under circumstances which unwittingly fueled the debate over hyphenated Americanism and immeasurably aided the cause of singular nationality.
		Most Americans, who regard their nationality as awesome, lofty and exclusive, do not include sex-perverts, criminals or lunatics within their ranks, neither do they countenance incompatible minorities or illegal aliens.
		Finally, McGreevey is not an American, because he has forfeited that designation by sullying home, family and marriage and so degrading American citizenship, that most-esteemed of emoluments ever created among earthly estates.
