IIRC it was the womens libbers who started this nonsense decades ago. The thinking was that they didn't want to give up their identity. Back then I thought it was stupid, now I just don't care.
PS: My boxer was schoerner graf Franz aus Nord. A German lady I worked with got a laugh out of it when I told her. Not quite a hyphen, but he was a dog blue blood, so.

Yeah I have seen it......MEH
When I read a news story,I almost always replace the descriptive offering of the author with "a person". There are some that will write a news story from that perspective. I have more respect for that journalist because that shifts the focus of the story from racial to factual(who,what,when and how) After all, it's a person that does something. Just a person.I work with a woman from Trinidad. She finds it offensive to be called African.
She would prefer that I call her Christine.
