That designation wasn't chosen by the people you are interpreting it to have been chosen by. It was "self" chosen. I don't choose to call myself a German American, I'm an American. By and large African Americans don't want you to call them just "plain" Americans. Somebody tell me if I'm wrong?
Now I'm curious as to how people from Turkey residing in Germany prefer to be referred to?
