Sorry, this one probably doesn't deserve a response, but....wtf? If you're going to get all picky about what fucking word we're allowed or not allowed to use, I'd think you'd at least know that "Aryan"s are people from Asia/Middle East.
I wasn't aware, until now, that people in the USA use the word "Aryan" in the historical sense. I was under the impression that people in the USA speak modern English, really modern English, more modern than mine. I actually suprised by this. Usually my English is the oldest/most out of context in a conversation.

It was a point on a list of possibilities. Please refer my previous post

Finally, like you said, YOU don't live HERE so how the fuck would you know what we like to call ourselves and why?[/B]
Thats precisely why I asked, I live in Australia and don't know many people from the USA and I do not understand this ethnic description business. I believe I stated that previously. If not, my apologies.

We don't call ourselves American, it doesn't make sense and it sounds absurd.
Apart from the whole America is land mass not a nation issue already discussed by other in this thread, why doesn't it make sense? If you ask me what I am I will say Australian but I'm not indigenous. My grandmother is European. All my other ancestors (in the past 200 odd years) are also immigrants. But I call myself Australian. As do other Australians. We don't have Irish-Australians, Italian-Australians, etc, blah.
Theres a cultural difference between my world and yours and I'm wanting to explore it.
