Canadians, Texans, Brits, Aussies, what ever happened to the hyphenated stuff, like Somali/Australian, or Arab/Texan?

“Canadians, Texans, Brits, Aussies, what ever happened to the hyphenated stuff, like Somali/Australian, or Arab/Texan?”

Excellent observation.

It always struck me as odd (but couldn’t quite put my finger as to why) that whenever there’s someone of a foreign extraction involved in a crime or terrorism they always refer to him as an american, canadian, british etc., or simply as “youths”.

However all “victims” of foreign extractions are always hyphenated.

Orwell is smiling in his grave.
