Those who we now call German-Americans, for example, should just be referred to as Krauts. Since Germany is a nation, the word German should only be used to describe someone's nationality or language. In order to specify that one's nationality is American but his ancestry is French, calling him a Frog would be much clearer than calling him a French-American. If adopted, this proposal would work best if we started using it only on people of European descent, at least at first. Since I've been writing web polemic, I've coined a few terms that I was hoping might catch on.
Violent criminals constitute a minute minority of the general population.
Nevertheless, hitchhiking is unwise. Add all kinds of thieves, including embezzlers, and still you have a small minority, but we find it necessary to lock our doors and windows. Normal people vastly outnumber the sum total of all criminals, yet our way of life is determined by systems set up to deal with them. This is the devil's world. I think the best part about having sex with a dog would probably be the look on its face.
