Inside the US, we don't refer to ourselves as "American", we seem to go by whatever the hell our descent was, but outside of the US we refer to ourselves as "American".
Is America the only country that does this?
Also, on another note: To all you who are not native English speakers: When you buy a videogame, do you play it in English or your native language?

I play them in English because it sounds kinda dumb in my own language (Dutch) imo. Also Americans... I have and will always wonder why blacks want racism to be gone but refer to themselve as African-American instead of just American.
