Why Do Republicans Get Their Underwear In A Bunch Over So Called Hyphenated Americans

Does their hypocrisy know no bounds?

Republicans have no trouble with European compound nationalities: Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, German-Americans, Jewish-Americans, etc. They get particular with African-Americans, Mexican-Americans and Caribbean-Americans by contrast.
