I wish people I talked to understood this better. It makes me kind of sad, and angry that Canadians don't know they should be Americans too. Stupid USAires...
@NotTheLaw When did they say the Virgin Islands were in the Pacific? They said they were in "the ocean". Last time I checked, the Virgin Islands indeed are in an ocean. And if you want to get pedantic, all the oceans are connected anyway.
How I usually respond to this is like this: if Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde and William Thackeray all referred to the inhabitants of the United States as "Americans" in their writings (and they did), and it was clear to readers in the U.K. to whom the word was being applied, then this issue has been settled since at least the 19th century.
Yes, Canadians, you do live in the the Americas. No, Canadians, you are not "Americans" in the common meaning of the word.
Do people in European countries ever really refer to themselves as "European"? Wouldn't you prefer to identify by the country you're from, not the continent? I get what's funny about the song though. The US basically did steal the name of both continents.
that depends on who you ask. °w°" Some countries are more patriotic than others... in Germany the patriotism is pretty weak...but we have strong local patriotism in some regions.
There's also the thing that often when people talk about the "Europeans" they mean "EU citizens" , which is wrong. the English, the Swedish and the Swiss are European for example, but these countries aren't part of the political entity "European Union". pro-Europe doesn't necessarily mean pro-EU.
But while not everyone is happy with everything that happens politcally in the EU, Europe has actually a very positive connotation...at least in my region. (ask wikipedia about the Greater Region. ;))
We never had peace for such a long time in this area as in the last 66 years. and that's because the countries try to work together to find the best way for the European countries not just their own...at least that the theory. ._. "una in diversitate" that Europe for me. :)
Actually, my Canadian boyfriend refers to people in the United States as American. He is from Toronto and says no one there is offended by the term and they call themselves Canadians.
Hahaha, you can tell exactly which comments are posted by the uptight americans. Hahaha. It's so sad how little they know about us. but that's ok. i need to unplug my computer from my igloo and get the dog team ready. There was another 3 feet of snowfall last night and I still need to get that polarbear I've been tracking for the last week. proud and true Canadian, eh?
When an American speaks to a Brazilian who is "American," he understands. But it soon emerges that same question: is a generic designation. In Portuguese we use the word * E * S * T * A * D * U * N * I * D * E * N * S * E * to a U.S. citizen. For those of Canadian nationality say *C * A * N * A * D * E * N * S * E* .
Guys did you know that the world map we use normally is not to scale and is biased? When it was made in the time of the British empire it made the countries run by the British empire bigger than it really was. Anyway on the closer to scale version Canada's just norther. JUST! :) WOOO!!! Go Canada!!
This video is geographically inaccurate. The US Virgin Islands aren't in the middle of the ocean, certainly not the Pacific Ocean. I think they were thinking of American Samoa.
@Scionwoods That subject is called geography, not geology. Geology is the study of the earth, like studying minerals in the soil. Geography is the study of land, inhabitants and so forth, so that's where studying what countries go in what continents would be catergorized.
America was the first country to be independent in the Americas. It's entirely fair that "Unitedstatesians" get the name. As for continents, it's "North Americans" and "South Americans".
@Canuckchick52 canuks provoke yanks, yanks provoke canucks in return. all the cnuk vids here on YT, insulting and disrespecting americans....have you seen any American vids disrespecting cnuks? maybe like 2 of them, where on the other side of the coin there are 100's of ASSHOLE canadians telling the US to go fuck itself type vids (proliferating daily). what goes around comes around. Oh well.
@Elricck I know, I wish it was different and we just showed each other mutual respect. Unfortunately there are jerks in every country so I guess you just got to learn to ignore their disrespectful and belittling comments. Sure, there are differences between Canada and the States but they're two of the most closely tied countries in the world and we just have to stop this incessant bickering.
it's kind of a given name more than something Americans came up with themselves. I travelled with Canadians around Europe and would always specify that I was a "US American". The Canadians on the other hand would tell people they weren't American. One time my buddy specified that he was not from America, but Canada, and the Italian pizza vendor simply said "same thing, same thing". I found it rather funny.
It means that you believe people are not capable of governing themselves through independent government that controls it's own currency and stand by in stunned silence while the prime minister declares that he porogued the parliament for months on the orders of an unelected 'official' to avoid questions about war crimes commited by canadian troops.
@Dzubur93 We dont...... our culture is allmost the same as the United states we just have a litttle diffrant goverment system and a voteing system also diffrant education systems and health care( we do have both universal and private health care.)
you know, i do think the term "american" should apply to everyone, i mean heck, we're just the "united states of" meaning we're a part of america, not that we ARE america. so how is it that the term "american" came to address only those in the united states? i dunno, it just seems more logical that it should fit into all the americas. not just the states.
@badgernation74 this is true but if it wernt for Napoleon the United States would have been reconquered by the English empire. With the forces of first gen born Canadian troops.
@spartoolius Is this really what they taught you in school? I know the Europeans were occupied with their own wars, but that was a large part of why we faught to be free of them. They didn't consider your troops to be first gen Canadian - you were British subjects. Could they have reconquered? Probably, but once they got our resources, the N. American colonies were always a lesser priority in every way. And yes I understand the irony in that based on current US - Middle East policy.
@sheleftmalfoy Wait a minute. It bugs Canadians what we call ourselves, so we should go by what you call us instead? How is that not as arrogant as you accuse us of being?
WTF? UNITED STATSIANS? AHAHHAHAHHA lol shut up! get over it we are AMERICANS! and all the people part of the U.S.A are AMERICANS. and all ya people are canadians, mexicans, brazilians, and so on !!! ok DANG!
@Alexandrea45J It takes one to know one you idiot. Just remember, Bon Jovi & Alan Jackson are American. Are their egos stuck up their arses too or did you just make a blanket statement about the good ole USA? Do you know the meaning of a sweeping generalization? Oops wait a minute, you "liked" a video about how to use a tampon. I digress....
the reason native americans dont like being called Indians is because they dont live in fucking INDIA!!Dumb assed european sailors thought they were in INDIA!
Actually the name came from the fact that all the states wanted to be separate nations and couldn't come up with a name so we just said that because the war was done and we'd look kind of stupid without a name for our new country. "Yeah, that place...over there...The one that made the heart attack on a bun known as the Big Mac."
To cut to the chase, it's North Americans and South Americans for continental dwellers. And if like me, you have Mexican friends and friends from South America, you must remember that Mexico is in North America, so you should refer to them as your latino/latina friends. Also, Native Americans prefer being called First Nations or Natives but not Indians. That does not include the Inuit, who dont like being called Eskimos. And Quebecers in Canada consider themselves Quebecers first..simple...
Canada ... we're sorry we were greedy fails and copy-catted the continent name. It's just because we weren't creative enough to come up with anything else. :)
@TMNTPIZZA I hope when you say "James," you actually mean "Henry." Henry Woodward, along with Matthew Evans, built the light bulb that Edison eventually modified to create his now famous version.
But in actuality, neither Edison nor Woodward can be credited as the inventors of the light bulb, as ol' Humphrey Davy (an Englishman, mind you) got there first by inventing the "arc lamp," the predecessor to modern bulbs, in 1806.
@andrewm153351 that light in your house was invented by a Canadian that phone you use was invented by a canadian that has in you car probably came from Canada ever read superman when u where young? Canadian
@TMNTPIZZA Also, Edison was American, Swan was British (Light bulb), bell spent as much time in America as he did in Canada for the telephone, Elisha Gray was british if you'de rather say they got it first. Bell was the closest thing you could get to Canadian and he didn't even spend most of his working life there.
It's funny: "The United States" doesn't really define the USA- for example, there's the United States of Mexico- and "America" doesn't really define the USA.
Also USers (I like that one too) are called American because they were the first independent country in the America's. Everyone else was British or Spanish etc
@Otox No It's like the example in the song , what if France decided to call itself Europe. I think a lot of other European countries would think that a bit.....arrogant..
america is shitting it self with the largest open border with canada and south america canada is ready to invade and steal the americans cheese and clean the place up.
@gameexpert4543 Actually, Canada didn't burn down their White House, the Americans burnt it down because they were afraid Canada was going to burn it first, after they burnt York and Canada chased them home. 8I
This is probably where the rumors of Americans being stupid began, too....
@MasterSoulThief .... no canada did burn the white house, lol. USA werent even in the city when canada marched in and they burned the white house, the capitol I think, and some other government buildings.
@MasterSoulThief we totally did! te american came up here thinking that we didn't want to be british and that we would join peacfully (hell no) and then a war happened for like four years during which america burned York and then we went over and kicked their asses by burning the white house. nothing happened after that and we got the last hit. in my mind CANADA won the 1812 war.
@SummerPaw the fact is the Canadians and British burned down nothing. The American forces did in fact burn down York, however, when British troops marched on Washington, the American troops looted thier own capital and started most of the burning. The Brits showed up to toast bread and make tea. Meanwile, up north, the Canadians, who had successfully claimed back the city of York, got busy on perfecting Lager Beer and started goofing around with something called Hockey.
I'm American and I think it's funny. Canada sucks though, haha.

Canada ... we're sorry we were greedy fails and copy-catted the continent name. It's just because we weren't creative enough to come up with anything else. :)

@rationalization2 actually James Woodward invented the lightbulb
TMNTPIZZA 10 months ago
@TMNTPIZZA I hope when you say "James," you actually mean "Henry." Henry Woodward, along with Matthew Evans, built the light bulb that Edison eventually modified to create his now famous version.
But in actuality, neither Edison nor Woodward can be credited as the inventors of the light bulb, as ol' Humphrey Davy (an Englishman, mind you) got there first by inventing the "arc lamp," the predecessor to modern bulbs, in 1806.

@TMNTPIZZA Also, Edison was American, Swan was British (Light bulb), bell spent as much time in America as he did in Canada for the telephone, Elisha Gray was british if you'de rather say they got it first. Bell was the closest thing you could get to Canadian and he didn't even spend most of his working life there.

It's funny: "The United States" doesn't really define the USA- for example, there's the United States of Mexico- and "America" doesn't really define the USA.

Also USers (I like that one too) are called American because they were the first independent country in the America's. Everyone else was British or Spanish etc

@Otox No It's like the example in the song , what if France decided to call itself Europe. I think a lot of other European countries would think that a bit.....arrogant..
blacbraun 11 months ago
@blacbraun And rather nonsensical, since the name "Europe" appears nowhere in "French Republic." I think you've entirely missed the point.

gameexpert4543 11 months ago
@gameexpert4543 Actually, Canada didn't burn down their White House, the Americans burnt it down because they were afraid Canada was going to burn it first, after they burnt York and Canada chased them home. 8I
This is probably where the rumors of Americans being stupid began, too....
MasterSoulThief 11 months ago
@MasterSoulThief .... no canada did burn the white house, lol. USA werent even in the city when canada marched in and they burned the white house, the capitol I think, and some other government buildings.
EduardoElSexypants 11 months ago
@MasterSoulThief we totally did! te american came up here thinking that we didn't want to be british and that we would join peacfully (hell no) and then a war happened for like four years during which america burned York and then we went over and kicked their asses by burning the white house. nothing happened after that and we got the last hit. in my mind CANADA won the 1812 war.
phew, glad i got that out:)
SummerPaw 10 months ago
@SummerPaw the fact is the Canadians and British burned down nothing. The American forces did in fact burn down York, however, when British troops marched on Washington, the American troops looted thier own capital and started most of the burning. The Brits showed up to toast bread and make tea. Meanwile, up north, the Canadians, who had successfully claimed back the city of York, got busy on perfecting Lager Beer and started goofing around with something called Hockey.
