Jindal: ‘I Am Tired of all the Hyphenated Americans’

"One of the things that worries me is this president does try to divide us every chance he gets. (Applause) One of the things we must be on guard against -- we must finally stop calling ourselves -- we are not African-Americans, we are not Asian-Americans, we are not Indian-Americans. (Applause)

I'm tired of all the hyphenated Americans. When my parents came over 40 years ago, they loved their heritage. They love India, but they came here to raise their children as Americans. My mom says if I want to raise my children as Indians or even Indian-Americans, I would have stayed in India. She came here to be an American. If we stay united nobody can beat us."
