Oh jeez. InC was technically right with his first point, though he was just being a pedant. But the moment he brought race in he was on dubious bullshitting ground. I believe the first person to call his opponent racist, a nazi or an anti-semite in an argument loses by default. Should have retired as technically right that Brazilians are just as American as US Citizens, although American is now synonymous in common usage with US Citizen and it is common usage that defines a word. But at that point you were slightly ahead, technically, while now you've lost.

This looks like it's just turning into a flame war. -_-

But now that the topic's brought up, what do most South Americans think about how the term "Americans" is almost always used in regards to North Americans only? I'd be interested to hear if most of them really do think it's a semi-racist term. My belief would be that it doesn't bother them so much since the allocation of the term in reference to North Americans has become an ingrained custom in most places.
There's crashing?

It is a generalization not to be taken seriously. United States of America, American as Canada is to Canadian. It is all the same. Got to love short forms.

FA If calling people from the USA "United States Citizen" is long winded, why do we have the right to be called "American" excluding the "North" part whereas people from Brazil, Chile etc.. have to be called "South Americans?" That is inherintly racist, it suggests we are pure Americans they are merely some rendition. If you are going to call a person from the US "American" and than go on to call someone from Chile "South American" you are disrespecting them. They are South American, we are North American. We are BOTH American. Our continent having more white people does not make it more American.

When the fuck did I bring up race ? What in my argument would make you think that I think people from the US should be called American because there's a higher % of white people there? Hell, you won't even be a majority white nation in few decades.

Now, my reasons for it being okay to call US citizens americans
1) People of the United States of America is very, verrrrrrrrrry long winded.

2) When was the last time you heard 'people of the united states' used outside of a speech ?

3) United states of AMERICA. If another country with America in the name wants its citizens to be called Americans, fine.

Some of you people are as stupid as half the second year students I teach @ uni. They actually had the nerve to use WIKIPEDIA as a legal source to staff their arguments and statements with.

Being on wikipedia doesn't prove ANYTHING, and can hardly be called dependable.

(P.s. this is a good thread, INcontrol get in there! Retort! Counter retort! Countercounter Retort! Rawr!!!)

Right and there was a time when African Americans were referred to as Negro or nigger, does that mean it was right than as well? Fact is calling a North American "American" over a "South American is racist.

wait.
I always thought the term "american", when related to US citizens, came from "United States of America", like "Federative Republic of Brazil", as if the name of the coutnry was "America" too.
