Hyphenated American

Quote:

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all ? The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic ? There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Note how the author left out the one he really wanted to say but didn't dare for fear of scathing reprisal from that particular ethnic group.

What a load of shit.

You become the nationality when you are born there or the blood of your parents. A French-American would be French by parents and American born.

Who's this article saying's a true American? There's probably only a few 100% true Americans as most of the USA has ancestry from England, Spain & many other countries of the world.

I not English-Spanish, I'm British, living in Spain. If I had a sibling here, my sibling would be Spanish, with English parents.

How does Nationality make a person better?

You're probably not 100% true American if you go back on your time line and at what point do you call French, Spanish or British colored?
