If you're being PC, shouldn't that be "korean american" or, more general, "asian american" and "hispanic american". They are Americans, right?
For that matter, could you please refer to caucasians as "european americans" since that is where the overwhelming majority of them have roots. Instead of american indians, "american americans"?! You get my point - were all americans first (well except for those 12million that congress doesn't know what to do with). I don't understand why "african americans" get any special recognition of their ancestors homeland and no other races do. Maybe, some of those "african americans" are really "australian americans" or from other continents all together - "antarctic american"?!
