A racist who is easily identified by the presence of "Some other arbitrary nationality or heritage (hyphen) American". Hyphenites also tend to be the most hypocritical of racists in that they are the most likely to claim being victim of the very racism they promote with their hyphenite heritage.

Re-hyphening 

1) The act of mentally shifting a hyphen in a sentence or comment which contains the pattern {adjective-ass noun} Used for personal amusement only. From the webcomic xkcd (www.xkcd.com/37)

2) Verbally expressing this mental re-hyphening to show discontent or apathy toward a person's vocabulary, word choice, comment, or the person in general.

Take note: Not all hyphens can be shifted for this effect - i.e. phrases like No-Talent Ass Clown or Punk-Ass Bitch - because the hyphens either don't make sense anywhere else, or they're just funnier where they are.
