Irish, Korean, Italian, etc.....can only hyphenate for one generation. You are not allowed to refer to yourself as italian-american from the second generation on. They would be American of italian descent. these are the rules. And, again no more comments from the peanut gallery.

That last was a reply, not a comment. Bummer, when you make rules and people don't follow them. Language usage is like that.

Well, I have known this for 50 years. To me it is common knowledge. There is probably a book somewhere that details this, but again, this is the way it works, at least in the States.

Not any more, that was like, 50 years ago.

As I noted previously, black people, with origins from the slave trade, have been excluded from conforming. However, I am not onboard with the exclusion, that is why I have never referred to a black person as an african-american. I will not be cowered by the dishonest left.
