the suffix applied to terms for non-white ethnic groups (i.e. African-American) to indicate that American it's describing is different from other Americans-- because as everyone knows, "American" is an ethnicity. And if one is not WASP, he isn't deserving of the singular appellation, and must have a stupid prefix slapped onto it before it's considered "accurate".
origin: the United States' incompetency when addressing its diversity.
Mr. Smith is a citizen of the US and is of German descent. Therefore he is American.
Mrs. Johnson is a citizen of the US and is of English descent. Therefore she is American.
Mr. Obama is a citizen of the US and is of partial African descent. Therefore he is-- wait, what was that? That one would actually be African-hyphen-American.

A game where a 300+ lb guy (no not all of them) can run a 4.4 40 hit and kill anybody stupid enough not to wear pads.
It's no better than rugby, defianately no worse. It's totally different is all. Footbally players hit harder mainly because they are on average bigger faster stronger and meaner than those in any other impact sport.
We played american football in germany, taught some of the locals how to play and by the end of the day they were a wreck and realized why pads are needed, in American football.
We educated them, most euros are too enamored with themselves to learn. They'd rather assume everything.
..I will grant all the breaks are boring, even to me as a rabid football fan.
And to the aussies calling american football players and fans fat and such. I'd like to congratulae your nation on surpassing the USofA in fatassedness. You are now #1 at something.
Kudos to you.

A stupid show that idiots try out for because their life sucks. The judges are complete dolts who think they know everything and all the "competition winners" always look the same and sound the same. (Their careers last about 2 weeks).
A make-money-fast idea that is dragging on while it can.
"Oh, no... yet ANOTHER American Idol..."

A term that I will start using at the exact moment that I start using "European American", which will hopefully be never.
What's wrong with the word "black"? Why do we need to say "African American"? It's six syllables longer. Why is "white" perfectly acceptable, but "black" all of a sudden isn't? People are too afraid of offending others. You do not have the right to not be offended in the United States. Stop giving voice and standing to the chronically and professionally offended, who are constantly on the look-out for reasons to be offended. If we continue as we are, in 10 to 20 years, "African American" will be considered offensive, and will be replaced with something else that will be considered offensive in 10 to 20 more years, and so on and so on. Stop this nonsense.
