        calling themselves american and not being able to call myself american is what strains me. i tought you were against us-centrism…

          I’m against that in general and against US defaultism more specifically, which is assuming everyone is American. I just think the particular term is strained. Yank is much better for example

            usian is fine. it even sounds similar to what we call them in my country.

                  I’m not a native English speaker, if that’s what you mean

                    so why are you bothered with it if you are not a native speaker, nor usian?
