I like the terms Italian American, African American etc. They work well within the subjective context. It is only relevant to the other person.
I have an Irish cousin who had never been to the US and was shocked at what passed for "Irish-American" in Boston. But it is only natural that they get absorbed into the larger culture.
Is American Chinese food really Chinese? Not so. The Chinese maybe 1/5 portion to rice. In North America, portion to rice might be 1/2.
