| Aeolus451 said: Americans do not consider the word "american" as a race or a ethnicity as a I explained. It's simply a nationality to them. That is american culture. Yes, nationality and race can be seen as one in the same but in america's case, it's frankly not. You can say that it's wrong or it's different in UK. Fine. That's what you believe. To each their own. |
It's what the English language says it is (Both American English and English English). So it's nothing to do with what I believe. It is a fact.
That said, my wife is American it seems to be the non Americans on here who don't view Americans as a race. Not viewing Americans as a race is racist by it's very definition. Funny how people only want these things working certain ways.
However, if English isn't your first language, I apologise for being so blunt with the correct meanings of the words as obviously, in another language they may mean something by different parameters.
RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.
