Funny, I have seen it myself but coming from those that are US citizens or posting from the States.
a majority of us are hypocrites in one way or another and are bigoted to something if not a little of everything.
So how do you feel about those that use the term you are ranting about?
Calling a person from Japan a Jap.
Chinese a Chink or Chin
Italian a Wop or Ginny
A German a Kraut
Mexican a Spic
Anyone from the Middle East an A-Rab

To you people who use this wording ... you have freedom of speech so you can show your bigotry and use it ... but don't go getting all insulted if someone tosses derogatory and obnoxious slurs at you and/or your country, slurs based on your ethnicity or culture or country. For you to do so would be hypocritical.
Ahhh, ok.... So you 'mericans thunk you own the whole of South America and North America.... i get it now....

America, Canadians, Mexicans, Peruvians,
You just blew your own argument out of the water. Those names do show which part we're from. And if you didn't notice, we're the only country that actually says "United States Of America", hence Americans
No it fits perfectly.
Not exactly the same ... but very much like it.

OP Step back and look at this.
What i get from this is "I'm offended. If you use this word, I think you are wrong and this is why I want everyone to stop saying it"
Are we really supposed to be forcing our own beliefs on others?
