I am wondering where you are at is there hyphenation

I'm in the Hudson Valley in upstate NY. We sure have African-Americans and all the other varieties.

In Australia I don't remember people saying they were Chinese-Australians, or Lebanese-Australians. People would say they were Australians and that they were Lebanese or whatever. Or Aboriginal and Australian. Maybe if you say you are Lebanese with an Aussie accent no-one doubts you are also Australian and there isn't some sort of defensiveness to put the two in the one phrase.

But essentially Australia is just like America. But Britain is different. You can't be an English Muslim. You can be a British Muslim, but the notion of Britain has been getting weaker with devolution of the 3 Celtic countries. In Continental Europe you don't even have that straw to hang onto. Only recently has Germany allowed people born in Germany with Turkish or whatever parents to claim German citizenship.
