The difference is in whether a transplant happens to be living in America, vs someone who is an American first. "Prefaced American" is not at all American. This country is said to be a melting pot. ..not "tribes"

No wonder my bar tabs are so bloody high??
This thread wasn't started as a "race baiting one, only a f*cking racist would see it that way, and I have no clue why the "chinaman comment came about (I love Asian ladies, I think they are some of the hottest women on the planet
)
This was only to point out that in the United States, we speak English, just as if we were in Germany, we would be speaking German.
