Because they are all a mixture so don't have a proper ethnicity.
Also most Americans are descended from the British and no one wants to call themselves British American for old political reasons.
In fact "American" often stands in for British ancestry, if an someone called themselves Irish American but has only one Irish grandmother where do you think all their other grandparent's roots lie?
