But not the right to jack around a whole culture to their changing whims. And I reserve the right to call them anything I want. No problem.
It's not as if black people had a say in this country as to what they were called. It's not about changing whims. Did you ever stop to think about the reasons behind it? I'm not threatened by somone who wants to call themselves 'african-american'. I think the hypenations are silly. What culture is being jacked around? American culture? I don't see how someone saying they're hyphenated something is jacking around a culture except to say they'd be separating themselves from American culture at large. Staying in one's own little circle is hardly healthy.
