Well that stems from Americans being a lazy bunch of folk
You are on the continent of Europe and that makes you European...Same applies to Asians, Africans, Australians, etc. But then they do seperate the Iraqis from the Iranians, from the East Indians etc. Then they turn around and call Canadians Canadians! If they are going to police political correctness, shouldn't Canadians then be Canadian Americans since they are on the same continent or do they seperate them because our countries, which lie on the same continent, are named differently and have seperate languages? i.e. Mexicans from Mexcio are Mexicans but if they live here they are Mexican Americans!
Where are the Canadian Americans!
Am I am American because I am a citizen of The United States of America or because I am on the Continent of North America?
Now I am just confused!
Maybe we should call ourselves Statespeople?
Wait, I am in Texas...I am a Texan! Totally different subject!
Now if you can make any sense of anything I said and want to reply, please address me as a
"Euroafrinatican Texan"!
Whew! I think I need to get to work!
Moni
