I guess the africans like to hold onto to their AIDS filled roots more so than Germans hold onto their jewkilling roots.

[Inhumane]

That's why we call them niggers. Silly.

Yes, they are.

[bait]

Mexican Americans don't like to just get into gang fights,
they like flowers and music and white girls named Debbie too.

Mexican Americans are named Chata and Chella and Chima
and have a son in law named jeff.

Mexican Americans don't like to get up early in the morning
but they have to so they do it real slow.

Mexican Americans love education so they go to night school
and they take spanish and get a B.

Mexican Americans love their Nana's and their Nono's and their
Nena's and their Neno's........ Nano Nano Nena Nono!

Mexican Americans don't like to go to the movies where the
dude has to wear contact lenses to make his blue eyes brown
cause don't it make my brown eyes blue.....

"And thats all i got, how do ya like it?"

They are if they choose to be called that (German-Americans, etc.).

I've heard plenty of people refer to themselves as ________-Americans even though they were born here.

But if your question is: shouldn't anybody born in America be called simply American? Yes. But the problem comes when you have to describe a person. For whatever reason, AA seems to be less offensive than "Black".
