It should be "United American" or something by default if you live in the United States. I, for example, am a North American as a Canadian. The United States of America has the difficulty of having a very boring and officious name that causes problems such as these.)

Yes. If you are born here or are a naturalized citizen, you are an American of whatever heritage.

I get heritage and culture, it belongs and makes us all better for having it, but any 'National Pride' belongs in that nation, not a foreign land.

What RG said...
I find the idea of the kids having to remove the flag T-shirts disrespectful. Are their delicate sensabilities more important than my own because they are a minority?
Why can't it be more "Both sides...knock it off."?
