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' |

I think it's just other NA/SA countries that have an issue with it. When I've traveled in Europe, that seems to be the preferred name for us. People say we are from "America" and that we are "American".

I am a little offended "White Trash" wasn't an option.
