Comment on How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?

This is one of the reasons Americans will often identify themselves as a citizen of their state or even city. They say they’re Texan or a New Yorker, for example.
It can come off as conceited, as it’s not reasonable to expect non-Americans to have a perfect knowledge of US geography, but it helps the sentences flow and is more accurate/specific than just ‘American.’
