What do we find frustrating about American's?
(and hey You can join in too - Why are brits always complaining about everyone else?)

For a start - why call yourself "American", surely that refers to anyone from either of the two continents?
Political correctness being incorporated into our everyday language we are no longer just "Americans" but a variety of Americans, i.e. African Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, Caucasian Americans...you get the picture.

I am sure the term "American" comes with being on the continent of North America and yes we do call North Americans North Americans and South Americans South Americans, the same way you call yourself Europeans.

Now, are you a Britsh European or an English European?

What I find frustrating about Americans is the demand for political correctness in referring to their citizens as African Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, etc. I can understand "minority's" plea for respect but it should not come with a label, being born here, we are all Americans and should all be given the same rights as the next person no matter his/her racial background.

Anyone who has seen my pic would call me just another white girl but the truth of the matter is, I am a mixture of so many races and cultures that I should be able to call myself some other version of "American" LOL. "Mixed" is unacceptable, I reserve that for domesticated animals lol.

Help me out here people!

Ummmm.....

Heinz 57 American?
Marbled American?
Eurocaucafrinat American?

If everyone realised how important tea is then the world would be a better place. Then again, wasn't there a little disagreement a few hundred years ago about tea and look what that led to.
