I don't have a problem with being labeled this way. I've been called worse.

Voted : I'm Terran, I was born on earth. LOL I'm very mixed American though. Voted : I'm Native American LCD, why do you have such a problem with Native Americans? You get all upset over casinos on sovereign territory and now you mock what we chose to call ourselves. Or should I use the stupid and inaccurate term of "Indian-American"? Or do we not exist at all? Of course, if someone criticizes Asians or Asian-Americans in some way you get all upset. Or if they did as I tried to do which is explain - without agreeing - as to why someone might feel the way they do, then you call me and others a hypocrite. I'm having a bit of a problem with this ballot. Why does it matter to you how someone chooses to refer to themselves? You haven't left the choices open either so that someone can't vote for Latin-American, Jewish-American, Italian-American, Antarctic-American and so on. Or are you trying to make a point that everyone should assimilate to the point that we have no differences at all? That seems to be your view. I think that the differences and uniqueness of various groups is what makes the US stronger, not weaker. I enjoy watching television shows, etc that explore the diversity of various cultures. I don't laugh at it. I find it fascinating. If someone wants to call themselves a European-American or even Martian-American, I don't care. I love black history month!

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some... people out there in our nation don't have maps...

Voted : I'm Terran, I was born on earth. Close enough. I don't know, I say Irish American sometimes, although I'm really a mut on my fathers side.

"LCD, why do you have such a problem with Native Americans? " lol, I don't have problems with native americans calling themselves native americans, I just thought it was laughable that the Natives are called "Native Americans" while "european americans" call themselves "Americans". if anything American Indians should be called "americans" rather than the other way around. Here, let me remove that chip for you, it looks heavy on your shoulder... :) Voted : I'm Terran, I was born on earth. I'm just a human being. I love learning about my European heritage and I think Europe in general is phenominal, but I'm just a human like everyone else. I'm from Space, trapped temporarily on your planet T'erth: this is fascinating place to visit, it is no place you would want to live... But you too are trapped here, are you not!? Escape with Me to Outer Space..!

LCD, somethign just hit my brain germane to this. Back in my Salad Daze in college, I knew a great many African students. In the company of one one day, I was stuppid enough to call myself African-American. He stood up and looked down at me (something, considering that I was 6'3" at the time) and intoned, in a voice that sounded like something that would terrify a Cosa Nostra hitman, said, "Sir, I am African. *You* are *American*." About five years later, I did travel to Africa on a safari. He was right. I stuck out like an elephant in a hamster cage.
