One must wonder about the identity of an American. Now, I know a lot of you are wondering what the hell is it that I'm talking about. Think about it for a second. When someone from Europe says I'm an European you would usually ask something like, where from and they in return would say something like, Germany or France. The same should be for the West continent! After all, do we not have a North America and a South America? Geographically, who is to say that a Canadian can't say that he is an American? When you think about it it's correct to say so. A Mexican should be able to say I'm an American and you in return would ask, where from and then he would answer, from Mexico. Would it be wrong? I don't think so! So, when you really think about it U.S citizens don't really have an identity and at the same time stoled the name of America for the states cannot claim to be the only Americans on this side of the atmosphere. Do you guys know what I'm getting at? It's the equivalent of a European country name the United States of Europe and then making it seem as if they are the only Europeans in all of Europe. Take Africa for example. There are many countries there but no country claiming to be the only Africans, know what I mean? So, if we were to ask what else can we call a U.S citizen other than an American? I know in spanish they are also called Estadounidenses or somthing like that. Well, that's all folks and before some of you start to pull out your guns...I just wrote this for good discussion and nothing more. I'm not trying to dis-credit anything or anyone.

PS. By the way, isn't the DR part the Americas as well? If that's so, would it not be safe for Dominicans to say that they are Americans as well? Think about it.
