Oh Rudd - What a half-empty glass view it is when you say: "However, when it comes to stating nationality, African-American, Scottish-American, Irish- American, Hindu-Pakistani-Germanic-American, etc., all have detractors from the "American" part." Quite the reverse - it is one of the prides and blessings of living here that the hyphen ADDS to the definition and richness of "American". Miriam Mueller
