being a american is respecting the english laguage, history. and structure. Why do these mexican's expect us to change for them when no other country INCLUDING mexico would ever do the same?

we don't..it's quite obvious that it isn't. If you're going to question Intelligence instead of saying "Americans" name one that you know believes it to be true and go from there.

What makes you think that these people don't consider themselves Americans first? And why do personally you find it so difficult to accept the fact that some people have numerous identities, one associated with their country and another with their race or ethnicity? Is it wrong to identify with people in your country who happen to share a similar ethnicity or culture that is somewhat unique or different from other cultures in the U.S.?\n\nAnd what on Earth makes you think you have to call yourself an Irish-German-Scottish-Welsh-French-American to be politically correct? How is that politically correct? Call everyone just plain old American if you want, for heaven's sake. Where did you get the idea that they would be offended if you did so?\n\nSince when did it become a crime to have more than one identifying personal trait?

My heritage is french and russian...however..i NEVER refer to myself as anything other than an American. People who do this in my opinion have an identity problem. Many of these people seem afraid to call themselves what they are..an American. People from around the world call us Americans. People in Ireland don't refer to my friend as an Irish American.

American is the proper term for a citizen of the United States of America. While Americans speak the English language, they are not generally considered English by nationality -- they are indeed considered Americans.\n\nWhile many Americans will identify themselves as just Americans for their nationality, Americans also identify themselves by their  racial or ethnic origins or their immigrant origins. Some might refer to themselves as "Irish Americans" (meaning Americans whose ancestors came from Ireland) or "Japanese Americans" (meaning Americans whose ancestors came from Japan) or "African Americans" (meaning Americans whose ancestors came from Africa).

National identity?\n\nEr.  I'm American.  I don't label myself U.S. American, even though I am.
