<p>What about celebs who do this? A lot of notable Americans self-identify as being _____-American. Conan O’Brien’s family, on both sides, came from Ireland a handful of generations ago. He calls himself Irish nearly every broadcast. Kurt Vonnegut, even in his last writings, referred to himself as being German-American. Jonathan Davis, vocalist from crap-rock band Korn, always refers to himself as being Scottish-American. etc, etc</p>
<p>Aren’t these people’s lives interesting enough without extra titles?</p>
