Not ALL the Americans, surely? There are those that live in Canada and Mexico who do not care much for it!

I am Canadian. Mexicans live in Mexico. We live on the North American continent. I am NOT an American. Americans are those who live in the United States of America. Calling them USians is just plain stupid. Get over it. Happy 4th of July to ALL AMERICANS
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

So, by your argument, an Frenchman is not a European, and a Nigerian is not an African. Are you sure? I would also point out that you do not have to live in the United States of America to be an American. In fact your argument gets weaker the more I read it.

You can call me a North American if you want to, as dumb as that sounds to me. But I am definitely not an American.

Yes, you are. Are you going to answer my points from the previous post? I bet you describe a Chinese person as Asian.

Well if Canadians are North American , and Brazilians are South American , why arn't both Americans ?

You too are talking about two different things. While you Dave are correct about American being by definition someone living on the American continent, "American" has in many cultures been strongly associated with the US which is what PJ is saying. In French, for instance, an "américain" is definitely someone from the US, with very few exceptions. Plus we would never call someone from Canada or Mexico "américain", and I guess that's what PJ Arends was trying to tell you.

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.
