As a descendent of German migrants, I’m officially dropping the “American” from “German-American.” I no longer want to be associated with this level of stupidity.

I always find this kind of silly. You were born and raised in the USA, so you're American, whether you like it or not. There's people saying they're Irish American despite 3 generations having passed, so when does it end? Am I Dutch-Norwegian because my great grandmother was Norwegian and came to The Netherlands?

No, I'm Dutch, I was born and raised here without influence of the Norwegian culture.
