hyphenated america

actually both posts for this word are incorrect. Although you mean very well there isn't a caucasian-American. A hyphenated American is someone who is a citizen but was born in another country or can trace their origin back to that county.
Tatiana was born here in the United States. Her mother was born in Africa. Tatiana is African-American. This is a hyphenated american. Which makes up hyphenated america

Says Prof. Bhagwati(an Indian American): I feel loyal to both the countries. One is the country of my origin and the other my destination. That is true of most people today. I think people are quite happy to be hyphenated Americans.

Hyphenated American

A derogatory term used to describe American of foreign birth or ethnicity,accusing them of allegiance to a foreign country. Originating in the late 1880s, It was later used as a political tool by Woodrow Wilson to provoke hysteria against German Americans or Irish Americans who called for U.S. neutrality in World War
Teddy Roosevelt: "There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all ... The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic"
