I've heard "African-Canadian" on CBC. Don't know how common that usage is in the wild.

Wasn't French-Canadian mentioned earlier in this thread?

Swiss-German
Swiss-French
Swiss-Italian

Baltic Russians
Peranakans

When I lived in Nebraska, some people thought it was an 'exciting day out' to drive across the border into Iowa... the girl I shared an apartment with, she thought it was exotic and 'foreign', the way some people would think going to Tahiti is exotic  ::)

Anyway, what would people call US citizens other than 'Americans'? United Statesers? USAers? :o

Although most people around the world do have another name for y'all, and oddly enough, it also begins with the letter A, but its not very complimentary :D :D

:P
