or Mexican.

Together the three of us are North Americans. Or if you want to include Central and South America, then geographically, we are all part of the Americas, and therefore technically we are all Americans (credit goes to Amerigo Verspuci - with apologies to the spelling).

So the concept in the original post is that is that since recent immigrants to the United States (i.e. in the past 200 yrs give or take) have been sourced from the entire globe, and they have come together to create a unique country who attempt do good, that killing an American is tantamount to killing the spirit of the world. Shooting yourself in the foot, so to speak.

The thought has some merit. Although the original people of the Americas may have a bone to pick with this viewpoint.
