Trick or Treating

You are welcome to call yourself whatever you like. I will follow the national protocol from where I was born . You do your thing.

Africans are Africans. Asians are Asians. Europeans are Europeans. And YOU and I are AMERICANS. Yeah, call yourself whatever you like. It's not about doing my thing. It's called GEOGRAPHY. You seem to have your nationality confused with the CONTINENT you live on. Not a damn thing at all to do with "national protocol" because no NATION is involved.

Hola
So you consider yourself an American. You are not a citizen of the United Mexican States? Where I am from (Canada America) if I am called an American, it is an insult because the whole world (except you) associates that word to mean the USA.

@Victorio:

Yes, that is also my interpretation, as You noted at the end of your reply, that is the assumption & general understanding.

Though as the Spokesman pointed out, "technically speaking" it may be erroneous.
Ni modo.
