Now, for the main theme been discussed here, i do hate as well taggin people with ascendence nonsenses, if you live in the US, then you are a US citizen, if you live in Guatemala, then you are guatemalan, etc... embrace it, or get he F... Out and go back to wherever place on earth you think you are from, you will be lucky if you can find it, as today's world population is the result of many, many race and national mixes.

I think the problem is that it's hard to make a descriptive term for a person using the phrase "United States". USer? USian?
"American" while not being the most specific, is more convenient.
Also, do you think the Guatemalans living and working in Costa Rica should consider themselves Costa Ricans?
