Most Americans would concede that they are not comfortable being around hyphenates. We need to put this into law----that anything that hyphenates is considered a nationalI concur, all hyphenates should be outlawed and/or barred in the USA.
That goes goes for last name hyphenates like the Frog, (aka: La Grenouille), in question, Dominique Strauss-Kahn. And US politicians like Debbie Wasserman Schultz (even though she drops the hyphen usage). They pick one last name and that's it - period. And if you don't like your future husband's last name, then don't marry him. It's that simple.
And it goes doubly for people who can't make up their mind as to where their national allegiance lays or which heritage comes first: i.e.: African-American, Mexican-American, Italian-American, or even those who say -- Irish-American. You either stop using the Nation part and hyphen, or hit the road Jack. I'm sure your 'home country' or continent will welcome you back with open arms.
This is the United States of America. Not the United States of Hyphenated America.
Furthermore, for those who just say they're 'Jewish' and won't even acknowledge the American part, the next plane for Tel Aviv leaves in an hour, be on it. Attempting to play both the Race and oppressed Religion Card at the same time is against all the rules.
Lastly: ALL Duel, or even Triple Citizenships expire on June 1, 2011, at 4:00 pm EDT. Pick 'American', or GO 'HOME'.
[Okay, I believe I've covered all the bases and stepped on every 'Politically Correct' toe. And to those I forgot to offend by name, consider yourself included.]
Hyphenates are always poor-mouthing----invariably inventing sob stories. They can only get attention by constantly bleating about "victimization." Freud would have a field day with hyphenates' lack of self esteem.
=======================================
What is "victimization"?
Victimization is a hyphenate's basic belief by which they blame, and find, others responsible for their own personal failures. For hyphenates, it "feels good" to be in the throes of victimization.
Hyphenates are always busy: A) causing victims, B) concocting victims, C) play-acting the victim, D) commiserating over victims, or E) creating other classes of victims to bleed over.
===========================================
PAY-ME-I'M-A-VICTIM Hyphenates constantly collude on ways to get taxpayers, and/or the courts, to subsidize them, to boost their lack of self-esteem.
THERE IS NOTHING IN THE US CONSTITUTION that compels US taxpayers to subsidize these people.
