How silly! Okay shall I be Brit-American, Scott-American, or Irish-American? My friends can be German-American, French-American, and Spanish-American. Then there is my wife who is Brazilian-American.
If we can hyphenate we should hyphenate everyone and pretty much the only people that would be American are the Native Americans.

Do you have a problem with the ‘Kiss Me I’m Irish’ t-shirts?
Not even hypothenated Irish-American, just Irish. Where are the protests?

Lighten up Francis.
I agree with you that if a person is born in the US then that person is American. However, for naturalized citizens I can see a point to using the hyphens.

Be whatever you need to be, but, excuse me, I do not see the phrase "Iranian-American Republican" used anywhere in the source document you linked to; just in your title for this thread. I DO see the phrase "Iranian-Armenian-American" used to properly describe her background prior to age 16. Seems to me like a relevant disclosure on her part if I am being asked to make an informed choice on her experience and qualifications.
