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.

I've been an american for 33 years so far and not one born and bred american will say they're race is american. Not every culture is the same even if the color of their skin is the same. British and Americans have  a different dialect of english. We don't understand each other's slang. I can watch a british film and understand it only slightly better than anime. I have to use subtitles and google certain terms that brits use.

My point is that you obviously believe differently and the entire UK probably agrees with you but the vast majority of americans don't. I'm completely fine with that. Not everyone has to agree on every little thing and sometimes, people just need to accept that some people are different.
