I'm a white American with Hispanic family roots, which go back to Spain. That doesn't make me a Spanish-American. I'm just an American...

A lot of times people confuse nationality with ethnicity.

all political correctness is retarded. It is a big oxymoron.

Didn't you know that poli means "many" and tic(k)s are bloodsucking creatures?

Please you don't offend with this comment, but the different between the persons are in the skin.

You know the Mexican is different to you and you as Spain you are so different to a Russian.

They are harmful beings who try to convince you they're doing what's best for you... and your ethnic group.

Xero,
Considering that America and the people who rightfully call themselves Americans are
born in over 28 countries, (many Islands and nations) it is about time that we all claim our right to correct the record in the media and collective assertion on the use and meaning of American.

World Atlas map and resource page which states that,
http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/na.htm

North and South America includes (23) countries and dozens of small island possesions and territories - mostly in the Caribbean. It contains all Caribbean and Central America countries, Canada, Mexico and the United States of America - three of the largest countries on the planet, as well as Greenland - the world's largest island.

Entonces, cuando ya no somos los ignorantes invadidos, o colonizados, sabemos
que todos los de esta cara del mundo somos Americanos.

Seria bueno que Americano crezca fuera de los confines de
los deseos de conquistas de los eeuu.

Nos toca a todos corregir el error, con su tocante
complejidad al aludir a otro con el apelativo de lo que es nuestro.

El complejo del invadido se ha comido a America, con excepción de los eeuu que
se adueñó del nombre.

Chileno,
I love it.


... poli means "many" and tic(k)s are bloodsucking creatures?

also, politics is the game of profit...

for profit, the end justifies the means...
and the means is lies and fairy tales of
home ownership, "home sweet home"
that belongs to the bank...

beware of words, sweet dribble for profit...
the unexamined mind...
the unexamined words...
an unexamined world...

babies only want to feel the security blanket...
mortgage... the house... and your country belongs to the bank.

“The unexamined life is not worth living.” Socrates said that at his trial for heresy.

No se trata de adueñarse del nombre, mientras cualquier persona que nace en las Américas puede ser llamado americano, lo cual realmente no lo usamos, sino más bien usamos el norte/centro/suramericano. En cambio cuando una persona de este país dice que es americano, no quiere decir que nació en el continente, sino en el pais llamado America.

A un montón de personas le cuesta entender esto, incluyendo a los americanos.

Aquí tambien lo estuvimos discutiendo, porque
de un tema pasamos a otro y llegamos a lo de

que, quienes son Americanos

Chileno! ¿y dónde queda el país llamado América?

que no existe en el mapa.

Los Estados Unidos de América, son un país en cuyo nombre hay referencia a todo un continente...

No dudo que le tienen el ojo puesto a "conquistar" a toda la América.
si estudiamos la historia de sus fundadores, podremos ver que sí tenían tendencia y planes de abarcar al continente completo. Somos el dolor de cabeza en el "backyard"... como nos llaman los historiadores estadounidenses.

Por eso la presencia desestabilizante de eeuu en tantos otros paises, donde han puesto fondos para guerras y definir. Todo estrategias para la toma.
