Identify as American? You're, "problematic".

Where next? The University of Stanford has, in it's release of a, "harmful language", list, identified that people from the United States only, may be insinuating that the U.S. is the most important country in the Americas if using the word, "American", to describe themselves.

Quote:

For instance, yes, “American,” from the “imprecise language” section is now problematic. People are instead asked to use “U.S. Citizen” because “American” is commonly used to refer to “people from the United States only, thereby insinuating that the U.S. is the most important country in the Americas.” The Americas, the guide points out, is made up of 42 countries.

You insensitive bastards!
