Do you believe there should be different types of American? (Asian American etc. etc.
 

I have always thought that dividing people into Asian American, African American, Native American etc etc has been a silly thing to do and only promotes the stereotypes that go with each label.

I think if someone was born in America, they are American without any prefix. What do you think?

I am not racist, and my parents were born in the Philippines, but I've just always found labeling people like this bizarre.

I see nothing wrong with respecting one's heritage as long as it isn't an excuse for excluding others. A perfect society would preclude the need for labels, including "male and female". We won't see this in our lifetime.
