I was born in America, and live in America, so I guess that makes me an American-American.
BTW, I think the history of the common use of the term "African-American" dates back about 20-25yrs to about 1980. I think it was Jesse Jackson (the self-appointed moutpiece for Black Americans) who first promoted the term as a replacement to "Black", which up to that time was politically correct. At the time I remember a lot of opposition to the hyphenated American terminology, but it appears to have won out in the end thanks to the PC brainwashing of our Universities and media.
