I think I've discovered the politically correct syntactic rule for hyphenated designations:

Pre-hyphen descriptor designates race or ethnicity;
post-hyphen descriptor designates current place of residence.

Thus, a 70-th generation North African of Arab ethnicity living in America would be Arab-American, not African-American. A 10th generation American of German extraction living in Mozambique would be surprised to learn that he was a German-Mozambiquan, not an American-Mozambiquan.

Glad I got that straight.

The whole ethnicity thing is bull****. "Colored people" is racist, "People of color" is politically correct, and the biggest "civil rights" organization in the country is called the "National Association of Colored People." Who writes these rules, anyway?

LOL Good one!

Not to mention those who were born in Siam or Indochina...

They don't even have those names any more!
