What is the name/term for people from the USA?

In WWI they were called Doughboys.

In WWII they were called  G.I.s.

In recent years they were called Grunts.

Basically they call us when they need us.

Hugs, Devlyn

Beth, you might be interested in reading about critical race theory, which is what informs the work of many of the folks who actually study these histories and cultural paradigms from a scholarly perspective.

Does anyone else feel like this thread has no future on a SUPPORT site?

"Support" is best given in an atmosphere of encouragement...to achieve this, one needs to know something about other people's interests, values, and opinions.

And sometimes one is just curious about the odd thing occassionally. As long as no one gets into a snit, it's all good.

Myself, I know where one of my triggers are, that's why I backed out of the sub-topic that developed around the idea that some nicknames can be derogatory.

Other than that....I like Little Debbie Oatmeal cream pies. (Devlyn, that's TWO words; don't you dare run with this... )

Ok, getting back on topic a little.

I'm thinking just call us Americans.  Then the state, like a Minnesotain (Minnesota Nice – because, well, we're nice!  Cold, [It's -10 F out there] but Nice! [Hugs for warmth!!!]  Used to be from Nebraska (Nebraskan).  Home of the football team called the Corn Huskers – not to insult farmers.  Live in Iowa (Iowans), Kansas (Kasasans? Never did get that one), Colorado (Coloradoans?), North Dakota (North Dakotan), Indiana (Hoosiers), Washington (no clue there)

Well I started this thread so people could have a laugh and a joke. A bit of light hearted banter and even a get to know people from around the world topic.

Unfortunately it has become something more and has started to become divisive so I'm locking it.
