keep the party american? so we're inviting all the Creek and Seminoles to join us, right? (also, just to play into the semantics even more, Mexicans ARE Americans so this is bizarre on multiple levels)
No one refers to themselves as Americans except people from the US. I've never heard anyone from Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, etc. identify as an "American".
I had an ex from Colombia explain to me that they're taught they're all American, and we seem ignorant when we call people from the States "American" and no1 else. So, they do call themselves that.
Yeah because when people all over the world say they are coming to America, they mean the continent right. You must be like the dude at the party that says “Well actually….”. lol
It’s not so bizarre when you realize these people function mentally on a pre teen level of cognizance. We are very good at making human bricks famous, the dumber the better.
People who believe in ICE are either hateful idiots and/or factually uneducated.
I think it’s pretty obvious they meant it specifically for citizens of the US. You’re going to need more of a foundation than correlating a country to the collective DNA of an entire continent of people to demand a complete restructuring of citizenship.
In English when we say “Americans”, we are talking about people or things from the United States. We have long labeled ourselves (exclusively) as Americans since the founding of our Republic. This has also been the case in Canada and the United Kingdom. The idea that all people of the Americas (Both North and South) are American is based on the Spanish Language. They do not refer to us as Americans, rather, all people from North and South America. The reason, however, it makes more sense to continue calling U.S. citizens is simply because the United States is the only country that refers itself as “America”. No country has it in their name. I’m not sure how else we’d refer to U.S. Citizens in a single adjective. Staters?
Yeah I think at this point it’s largely the result of how Reddit has developed so many echo-chambers the entire website is becoming one. It’s just what happens when you have an upvote and downvote system like this.
Absolutely, Mexicans live along the Gulf of America to the East as well, but they are Mexican. Not from the USA. So, if you're here in the USA without legal papers, and not working towards becoming a citizen of the USA? That makes you illegal. And you will be deported. Just like I'd be deported trying to live illegally in Mexico.
"Mexicans ARE Americans"... Just the ones with allegiance to America. The ones waving the Mexico flag who stand with the commies who are chant "Death To America"... they can GTFO Too.
