um... but if you switch them (American-Asian, for example) it implies that "American" is the adjective and "Asian" is the noun. They put it the other way because then it's saying they're AMERICAN, but using their race as a descriptor...and then it's hyphenated to make a single term.

I guess I like American-cheese too much and thats why, if I'd have to call myself a hyphenate, it'd be fatass-American.
