Comment on How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?
kirklennon@kbin.social 1 year agoTelling people what they're allowed to be offended by is usually a bad choice.
Let em call me whatever they want in whatever language they have.
That's not what this is about though, which is precisely the point. In other languages, "America" means something else, and they all have other terms to refer to people from the US. The whole discussion is about what Americans should be called in English.

It’s ridiculous to give such weight and care to silly things like labels.
I don’t care what they want to call me in English. My comment was intended to read as dismissive of the entire conversation.
