I said I am racist with ppl who don't want to better themselves.. so I get to hear it cuz I say it not just think it.
sorry but you're about as white as tiger woods. It would have been nice if you inherited a ghetto booty though..

Yes, I know. My point is that to refer to someone from the United States as an "American" and to someone who is from let's say...Colombia as "not an American" is wrong. Both countries are part of a whole big-ass continent called America which is then divided into North, South and Central America. Claiming that America is solely the United States and that an American is solely that who was born in the United States is ignorant when that clearly is not the case.

It clearly makes no sense to YOU, you probably have used the term your whole life. Still, that doesn't take away from the fact that it is wrongly used and a blatant misappropriation.
Fuck me sideways with a stick. The literal name of this country is the United States of America, as STATED in the Declaration of Independece. Or America, for short. It most likely came from Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer in the 1500s.
American and North American are two different things. Am I missing something here? Ffs.

I know what you're saying and if you want to get all technical..yes. But these days when one says " American " We are referring to people from the United States of American, that funny shaped country, the one below Canada which also is part of North AMERICA yet not called Americans. It's just a term to set us apart. It's the only country within North America that contains "America" ( I think ) so it's only right, no?
