the rest are all Americans.

mina is canadian you racist

Technically still American. Just not from the U.S.A.

Calling a Canadian an American is about the same as calling an Irishman/Scotsman English.

Actually, it would be the same as calling them European.

By that logic Hawaiians aren't American.

And all Mexicans, Cubans, Brazilians, Nicaraguins, Panamanians, Peruvians, etc. are.

Hawaii is part of the United States of America, therefore American.

Most of that other list is in South America, therefore technically American.

I fail to see the problem with referring to inhabitants of a geological landmass as inhabitants of a geological landmass.

Because if you're not from the US, it's a horrible thing to be called.

Fuck you. Seriously. Some of us actually have pride in our country.

And Majiffy wasn't talking about the US anyway. He was talking about the continents North America and South America.

KK, I sincerely hope you don't come from a military family and have that attitude. It would be disrespectful to them if you did. It's disrespectful anyway but that would make it even worse

"It's horrible to be called American" = "I'm not proud of my country's actions"

It's horrible to be called an American when you aren't, is what he was saying. Still a bit dramatic, but a very different thing than your out of context quote.

If he's non-American, I can respect that.

Just like it's horrible to be called a racist if you are not.

Working in a jail, I've gotten this more times than I can count and it pisses me off every time. It seems a lot of people were raised in homes where they were taught "all white people are racist" which is a racist statement itself. Most recently, I wrote up four inmates. Three for being out of place and one for not going directly to his cell. Two of the four happened to be hispanic and claimed I wrote them up because I "don't like spanish people" which is absolutely ridiculous.

Zoraster, the continent thing was originally stated as just being a technicality. Nobody is saying that it is generally used. It was then pointed out as being wrong which simply isn't true. It's really not a big deal to me personally, but it's not wrong to say anyone in North America or South America is technically American which is all I'm getting at. It's a technicality and I'm fully aware of that.

Does Taiwan recognize Taiwan as part of China though?

Khan, I apologize. I wrongfully lumped you in with a mentality I've gotten sick of encountering. You are entitled to your opinion and while we may not agree, I can respect it.

[Egg]

No. North America is a continent. Britain is not. Europe is.

[Egg]

I can't.

[Egg]

No. North America is a continent. Britain is not. Europe is.

Great Britain is a geographical term, though.

It is, but a comparison was being made.
