looks like a punctuation error to me. I would have written it this way:
Honestly—the way they’re speaking—I’m fine with them calling it ‘“american.”
You could separate the interjection with commas or parentheses too. the em dashes give some extra emphasis, while commas make it blend in a bit better.
