"If I was American it would be ridiculous to describe myself as English-American given that my forebears (that is a word, right?) came from there (I think)."
So what would you call yourself then? How would you be categorized? Would you need to be?
How could we identify with you if we don't know your background? Does it make it less humane if we can't categorize you in some way or more humane if we choose not to?

"There are all these cultural sensitivities about race that are specifically American, I think, probably mainly about keeping up appearances."
I agree.
