I see the point you're trying to make, but I think terms like Native American and African American are referring to one's cultural roots. I consider myself Chinese American because I was born and raised in American with a chinese influenced cultural background. It doesn't mean I have any allegiance to China, but I do recognize that my ancestors came from there and that much of their culture has been passed down to me.
See, I have absolutely no problem with you identifying with your culture and/or heritage and labeling yourself.
I just object with the government doing it for you.
Is it normal to be infuriated by the term
