[patricia b]

I agree with you, Andrew, i think if you are born in this country, or become a citizen, then you should simply be an American. It is very often, very obvious what a person’s heritage is, ie: black people are predominently of African heritage, of course, not all, but all black people I know prefer being referred to as African-American. My mother was born in Scotland and became a citizen of this country at 11 years old. She has always considered herself ‘American’. I have never thought of myself as ‘Scotch-American’, but as an American with a Scottish heritage, and as my father was part Norwegian, part Welsh, does that make me a ‘scotch-Norwegian-Welsh American?’ I think not. I am simply an American, as all citizens should be.
