“A Bias-Free Language Guide posted on the University of New Hampshire website also asserted that the word American is problematic because it assumes the U.S. is the only country inside [the continents of North and South America]. “

Reminds me of this - “I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future. For our children.”
