For a long time, ASR was typing African-American. Now, it's typing African American without the hyphen. Does anyone know which way is correct?

I was always taught African-American was hyphenated, and that's the way it came up on the ASR for the longest time. Now, it comes up without the hypen. Thoughts? We don't hyphenate Caucansian-male.
One thought - if the Indians are using our ASR, they should have to submit corrections before they are changed.

This happens to me often and at random. Sometimes if I have my email up at the same time I'm working, if I close it, or exit the web entirely the problem may resolve. Other times I've exited my word document and the problem resolves...sometimes not. Sometimes I've had to reboot...sometimes the problem resolves and sometimes not. It's still a mystery to me.
