In America half Asians are not called Asians, half Mexicans are not called Mexicans. Monikers are stupid. If people live in America, they are Americans. Hyphenated Americans seem to feel it necessary to point out differences rather than look for commonalities.
I'm mixed up myself, most of my blood is Indian (Native-American to those fond of hyphenated "titles"), but I see my identity as American, and nothing else.
