As an American, what do you call yourself?
I know you guys are having too much fun in the hootie thread, but this is cereal.

Lately, I've been hearing people say stuff like "only idiots from North America call themselves Americans." I usually respond "Everybody in North America calls themselves Americans?"

I've only recently begun to hear this. This must be something new, it's quite baffling.

To be fair, it's usually nerdy kids playing Path of Exile or some other PC game I'm playing. There will be a discussion about it every other day or so in the general chat. I've never heard anybody say this in person.

But what is the deal here? It's not just one time or one guy saying stupid shit like this, it happens a lot. Like it's improper for us to refer to ourselves as "Americans." Is this improper?

Should we call ourselves United States of Americans? or United Statsians? lol, I don't think so.

I'm guessing that some people probably took a latin american class or some shit and their professor told them it's not the correct thing to say or some shit.

I imagine these people are from other countries. No American is going to give somebody a hard time because they referred to themselves as an American.

And FTR, this isn't some proud to be an American speech or some bullshit like that. There are 20 other countries I'd rather live in.

So if we cared about pleasing those people, what would you call yourself? poll coming

I'm sure most don't have a clue what I'm talking about.

TLR people from other countries don't like it when we call ourselves 'Americans' or say we are from 'America'

What other countries have America in its name?

When I talk to my friends from Europe, they generally refer to themselves from their country not region.

I'd tell them that Americans is just the short version of we are from the USA, if they want to claim the name, maybe their country could have put America in their name as well. If they bitch some more, apologize for deporting their uncle...

I call myself an innovator, a patriot, and a defender of freedom. I call myself the bright shining beacon of hope in the world, and the future of mankind. I call myself a free thinker, an individualist, and a voter at the tiller of the greatest nation this world has ever seen. I call myself...an American.

I was walking down the street in Ireland last summer during a Horse Racing Festival. A group of drunk Irishmen came up to me and said " Hey your an Amreican, come and drink some Pints with us." My wife asked how they knew I was an American? and they said "He has an American head"

So I guess since I have an American head I call myself an American.
