I didn’t read the article.
I’ve come to the conclusion that anyone who uses a hyphenated label for their nationality, is wanting to draw attention to their ethnicity or race, and therefore a racist.
The writer of the article, much like myself, now have as grand kids, loved ones who married Mexicans and Afro Americans. I thought he handled it well I did a GOOGLE search and saw that he is as white as I am, and I thought the article helped explain to his mostly black grand daughter why things are the way they are.
The article is well worth reading. But I know how you feel. There are concessions that have been made to the distortions and contortions imposed on the English language by the Left that make one want to shout “Enough!”

to his "brown-skinned", (and, apparently, adopted) 7-year-old daughter.
The "adopted" is a guess on my part, based on the fact that his wife,
Nancy French, is -- obviously -- white, too...
