        Because America is incredibly diverse, so saying your American is virtually meaningless in terms of your culture and values.

            And Indians tend to refer to themselves as Bengali, Tamil, Telegu, etc…

            So why is Americans giving a more culturally specific title at times confusing to you?

              They sound like a bratty teenager. If we’re taking their comments at face value, they probably get a lot of praise from their friends with cheap digs at America even if the same problems exist in their own culture.

              culturally specific

              Lmao ok. Texan ‘’‘Irish’‘’ and Californian ‘’‘Italian’‘’ have stronger links to their ‘’‘Irish’‘’ and ‘’‘Italian’‘’ roots. Sure.

        They do, but depending on context, Italian is the answer they really being asked. If an American asks another American about their background and they get an answer like Italian-American or American of Italian decent, they’ll get a funny look because the American part is implied.
