Overall, 39% of U.S. adults say they are “extremely proud” to be American in the most recent poll.
Meanwhile, only 18% of those aged 18-34 said the same, compared to 40% of those aged 35-54 and 50% of those 55 and over.
18% is still too high. As Obama’s pastor said, God damn America! Americans have very little to be proud of at this point.
Incredibly, people in USA are so self centered and egotistical that they forget that north America and south America and central America exists, and not only that, they seem to forget that we are all Americans. So this poll title is not only inexact, it’s also showcasing a level of hypocrisy and self entitlement that was never thought to be possible.
What’s your alternative? Other countries have similar one-word names for their citizens, “Italians,” “Japanese,” “Mexicans”, etc. United-Statesians? Then we might get the complaint that many other countries are made of smaller states too! Let’s go for “citizens of the United States of America,” that’s nice and short. I get that Central/South America exists, but let us have the word, there’s nothing else which sounds good.
You can call yourselves united statesians, that’s shorter, north Americans it’s good too. Gringos is pretty funny and Yankees as well haha
Yes, and there are words for those other Americans. Canadians, Mexicans, Nicaraguans, Argentinians, and on and on. The US only has “American”.

Yankees specifically refers to Americans from the northeast of the country.
