I'm all for inclusion of all people in our society. No one should be prejudiced for who they are.

BUT! Today I have to draw the line! Listening to the Play School alphabet song with my kid and it goes "A, B, C, D....X, Y, zed or zee". Since when is this blatant destruction of our national identity accepted?

I'll be picketing outside the ABC's head office from tomorrow and following that the education office until this travesty can be corrected! Who's with me?!

usaians

Cringe.

Just say Americans mate, we all know you’re not referring to the inhabitants of North America or South America, you’re not correcting any confusion only adding it by not using the countries name.

Mexicans are americans.

Colombians are americans.

Brazilians are americans.

Unitedstates-ians are americans.

It’s funny because spanish doesn’t have this problem. They call the people from the US estadounidenses which basically is unitedstates-ian.

Then why is it the United States of Mexico? Calling them and Canadians just reeks of Manifest Destiny bullshit.
