    Putting ‘American’ second actually makes it the primary nationality. Think about it in terms of colors. If you have two crayons and one is labeled redish-orange and the other orangeish-red, which one is redder? The one with red second! It’s one of the quirks of the English language. Just like how we put the noun after the adjective (the blue chair) instead of vice-versa as many languages do.
