Am I the only one who found this "the right
thing to do" boring?? With all that's going on
in the world, these two wealthy ladies should
have other things to discuss rather than
how they want - or do not want - to be labeled.

Makes too much sense. Nationality? American. You betcha. Want me to use the apparently politically incorrect "European American"? How about "Native American" (Hey, I was born here, makes me native to this land, eh?).

My question always has been this - why does it matter where my great grandfather's grandmother came from, except to facilitate some leftist bean counter's attempt to justify milking off the cash cow of moocherism?

Why not Homo Sapien? Terran? or yeah, Human? After all - aren't we supposed to be a color blind society??

That's my response.

If one is African born and then comes to
America and becomes a US citizen, he is
STILL African, but a US citizen. So how can
he be considered an American? US citizen,
yes, but American? What am I missing? BTW, who ever hears "German-American" or "Greek-American" or "Polish-American"?
It's always African-American ( because there's more of them?? LOL!)

I've said that to my kids since they were little. It's true. :-)
