I dunno it just makes me feel like people are separating themselves when really we should all just be Americans. Individuality is great but I suppose it will always bother me till I move to Russia.
It could be! Though which Power Ranger spin off are we talking bout hurr?Originally Posted by kurono

when you say American, though, you really mean "like white people", yeah? specifically, the kind of white people that non-Americans love to make fun of.

No I mean anyone born in America is American. And I also hate when people say White people or Black people but I also hate when people say Caucasian or African American. I just drive myself crazy!!!! All the time! I need Metal. Is their a song I can use to chase the demons away? I'm too cheap for therapy.

Well I want people to be red neck proud to be American. Can't we all just dress like cowboys and get along? I'm getting so passionate my panties are soaking wet.
My father's ancestry is half Welsh/French. Any room for me?
