    I think I’m hitting a bit of a language barrier. What i understand is that they told you not to callt hem Americans? I feel like I need context. I wouldn’t want to be called American in public to avoid confusion. But not in that context

      It was something along the lines of well we’re all Americans,

      No no no, don’t lump us in there

      I’m from the US but we’re all from North America.

      Oh, sorry, you know, we don’t really even want to be associated with that term, you guys can have that one

      It’s like having neighbors so bad that you don’t even want to mention you’re in the same community
