Just a question - I presume his parents are here legally - so they, and Cedrick, are American citizens. Why the continued division of Americans into hyphenated categories? Rhetorical question...
Because white Americans don’t get a hyphen. Now pipe down and stop making trouble. :)
Good question.
My humble opinion .... because the politicians and the elite want power to get elected and it is easier to foster enmity between groups.
We should just like people as individuals that we get to know and trust and weed the bad ones away from us (or help them to change).
More Americans should visit another country and spend time with others in their country. They might appreciate America and Americans more.
