      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

                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?

                    Wouldn’t you be bothered if I incorrectly assumer you were a Yank?
