You are correct and it is horrifying that this is where we are. You served a country that no longer exists. So shameful and evil this white supremacy bullshit

Thank you for your service, this is a part of project 2025 the reduction of people of color.

Please accept my sincere apology on behalf of all Americans who understand that we are a nation of immigrants that include every color, ethnicity, and religion or lack of it. I’m the daughter of a first generation (Lithuanian) American and grew up hearing my mom extol the virtues of our diversity.

I think that's what made this country great.

Exceptional to think you are the whole continent. You are not exclusively American everyone from north and South America are Americans you are just United States citizens. Remember your place in the world. Small and friendless

I'm Canadian, and not once have I considered myself an American.

turtlesleviathan.bsky.social•5 days ago

I'm Canadian and I do both. I'd also be fine with calling people from the US something else since it's true that we are all on the American continent.

chadchartrand.bsky.social•5 days ago

There’s no American continent. There’s North America and South America, two separate continents.

turtlesleviathan.bsky.social•5 days ago

Do you think that North America isn't an American continent? The American continent of North America? That's just kinda how speech works, you can totally do that.

shaneconvey.bsky.social•5 days ago

That’s because Canadians are better educated and understand America is 2 continents rather than a nation.

chadchartrand.bsky.social•5 days ago

In this context, they were referring to Americans as US citizens. I imagine most educated folks know what the word American means.

lillysquashblossom.bsky.social•5 days ago

There is no word “Unitedstatecians”. Until there is, many will use “Americans” despite knowing all you’ve said.

shaneconvey.bsky.social•5 days ago

United States citizens that is all.

lillysquashblossom.bsky.social•5 days ago

Has to do with how sentences are structured—plus centuries of habit—much less w/ the beliefs of the individual writing the sentence. No, it’s not ideal, but until better comes into common use, there’s no reason to be so absolutely shitty about it. “Correct” kindly and you’ll get better results.

dustwitch1967.bsky.social•5 days ago

Actually, there is. It's just not an English word. The Spanish word for US citizen is estadounidense.

lillysquashblossom.bsky.social•5 days ago

That’s nice. But, as you’ve stated, that is a Spanish word.

cardonebrian.bsky.social•5 days ago

Point taken! Very well said.

Every citizen has a right to self-defence, and to combine to ensure it.

I’m sorry, it’s so horrible that you even have to think about this… it’s gut wrenching & terrifying for them & for you
