Many Americans at home have the same difficulty telling who's who. :)

Apparently they have a gender ID problem too. I read this morning that Shoshanna wasn't pegged for being a woman until the captors started removing her chemical suit.

This reminds me of when American troops first occupied Japan in 1945. The Japanese couldn't understand the black troops. The black military even started a joke telling the Japanese that they were specially bred Americans, trained for night fighting. And the Japanese often believed it!

I don't...We are all Americans. ;)

America!!! The REAL United Nations!!!

My family is "redneck" as far back as we can find and I am married to a first generation American of Puerto Rican heritage. They sure make'em beautiful down there!!!

Considering how the tightly the regime controlled the country, and how Americans have been characterized in general on Iraqi TV, I doubt that most Iraqis have ever seen a Hispanic or Filipino before, which makes the disbelief understandable. Fairly amazing in this day of instant communications, though.

What is an American?

We are the oppressed, the poor, the dregs of the world who were sent to a new land. We are the Mutts of Europe, the Dregs of Africa, the oppressed of Arabia and Asia. We are the throw aways that the rest of the world had no use for.

We came to this country and built a force for Freedom under God that no man or Government on Earth can Conquer.

That is what an American is.

And the young corporal who put the flag on the falling status was born in Burma ... moved to the US when he was one week old.

Yes, the Left has great difficulty with enemy recognition.

[Psalm 73]

"...we're U.S., we're all U.S."

Amen to that - what a great country, the most ethnically diverse nation in history, but "...we're U.S., we're all U.S."
God (continue to) Bless America !!

[Blood of Tyrants]

It is the people who give their nationality without a hyphen that made this nation great. Our strenght was never from the lie of "diversity".

[k2blader]

Ha! Can't really blame the Iraqis. Many if not most of them probably thought we're all "white devils." :-)

I've gotten many silly race-related questions over the years here in the US! But folks at least understand I am American.

"We're all very different people. We're not Watusi, we're not Spartans, we're Americans! With a capital 'A,' huh? And you know what that means? Do you? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world!"

Americans are the free people. Origin no longer matters except for weddings and funerals.
