I always find this kind of silly. You were born and raised in the USA, so you're American, whether you like it or not. There's people saying they're Irish American despite 3 generations having passed, so when does it end? Am I Dutch-Norwegian because my great grandmother was Norwegian and came to The Netherlands?
No, I'm Dutch, I was born and raised here without influence of the Norwegian culture.
But in the US it is a cultural thing. Like Italian-Americans have a different culture from other Americans and from current day Italians. The US is a big place, with many different cultures and people like Europe. It's like if I said to you that you are European so stop calling yourself Dutch.
Do they speak a different language, have their own celebrations or social groups?
Sometimes, yes, yes.
