No Hyphen Required

On the Christian Science Monitor site, there's a great little snapshot of a son's memories of his father, an Iraqi immigrant.


"I would not put a hyphen in a description of me," he said. "I am an American with an Arab heritage. I am proud of and fond of my culture. "But if I must have a hyphen," - he chuckled - "then I am an American-American."

Beautiful.

Read the story.
