"s i may say that once this girl told me in miami that i was not an american cuz' i didnt live in the states, hu? comon she was stupid, i am american, i am not NORTH american tho !"
That one isn't related to intelligence. In the USA we are taught to believe we are the United States of America. We don't associate north america/ south america/ or central america with being americans.
We don't have a union of nations(well unless you count nafta) like europe. As such we don't think of ourselves in terms of continents.
How many people thought of themselves as european before the eu versus thought of themselves as members of their own country.
