Re: Americans, what would you rather be called...

I played a Korean game once and was constantly called a "Yankee" or "Yank". I think they meant it to be insulting, but I just lol'd.

The thing about people getting upset about using the term American...Canadians/Mexicans/South American people don't call themselves 'American' as far as I know. I don't see what the big deal is, other than anti-American wank.

I'm a Bostonian so I'd hate to be called a 'Yankee' ;p. I don't mind the term, I think it's catchy. I'd still rather consider myself an American, though.

Canadian, never met one who wants to call themselves American. (Relevant: www.youtube.com/watch?v=29g57XTYgLE )

That's more a baggage thing than a locale thing, though.

My problem, as a Canadian, isn't what Americans call themselves, but how Brits and Aussies and so on refer to me. They're the ones who call everyone from North America (or at least the majority-white parts) Americans.

So fucking annoying to have to keep correcting them, or playing the "are you talking about people from the US, or all North Americans?" game.
