Fun fact: Did you know Delaware had a great reputation of treating German POW's very well? On weekends German POW's could go out drinking in Delaware towns and the Americans didn't care because the Germans would show back up when they were supposed to on time at the camp.

Also, it isn't like your states have some kind of cultural distinctions. If somebody from Spain said that they were from the Basque Country, it would be acceptable. Not in your case though.
>>59171207
It's covered in something like one lesson, so they don't expect everything to stick, but yeah, it's taught over here to some degree.

Are you for serious? What's the fucking difference between a guy from Cali than from a guy from Florida? That one calls a soft drink "Soda" and the other one calls it "Pop"? That one has a Hardee's and the other one has a Carl Jr's?
Also:

Yeah I mean whats the difference between Argentina and Mexico? One says "vos" and the other says "ustedes"? That one has mapuches, and the other has zoltecs or whatever the fuck they're called?
>>59171497
We also have """"""cultural differences"""""" between our provinces but we'll only say from which part of Argentina we are from if someone asks it. We don't say "Hi, I'm from Mendoza" to a guy who isn't Argentinian to introduce ourselves. That's retarded.
>>59171623

Right, the Hardee's and the Carl Jr's. I get it.

Really? We also have them here. They don't count as """"""cultural differences""""".

Not everyone in the same state has the same political views. And if a party has been winning that state for the last 2 decades it doesn't count as a cultural difference.

The difference is that LATAM is so irrelevant no one can tell an Argentinian from a Conglombian or a Cuban or whatever let alone from your provinces.
Everyone knows an American when they hear one, there's no need to introduce as one.
>>59171739
One state has more culture than your Spanish speaking shitskin copy of Spain
>>59171769
oh fuck off, yes, you are so different because someone from Florida speaks like a Redneck and someone from Cali speaks like a white suburban girl. I feel so culturally enriched. The only acceptable comparison between American """"""""""""""""""""""cultures""""""""""""" is the South vs the North.
>>59171463

>>59171739
>Right, the Hardee's and the Carl Jr's. I get it.
More like tacos and Mexican influenced food vs more Cajun style food (Spain and France in essence).

>what cities and states are near you?
See above
>is your city/state similar to x/y/z region
this only applies if you're from some literally who state so people can pretend you're from x/y/z and treat you how they think people from said area like it.
btw you're a fag
why are the south americans in this thread so butthurt?

The Americas
Not just America
You walk down the stairs not down the stair
>>59172189

I say San Francisco or New York City and everyone knows what I'm saying. Lucky to grow up in both places I guess.
>>59172218
You're a meme country, but there's nothing wrong with that. Just embrace it like we do.
>>59172297
So how would you call someone from the Americas?
>>59171022
>I'm from the US.
There.
>>59171308
Portuguese is the most Powerful Language in America (That's South America btw)
>>59172325
I guess that in English you would specify from which part of the Americas you are from, for example: "I'm South American" "I'm Central American" "I'm North American"
>>59172235
Having a national identity and regional identity isn't mutually exclusive. Is this meant to be bait or something?
>>59172145
>To call both North and South America "America" is fucking retarded.
Yes england reason why we say it in it's plural form when referring to the continent and singular for the country (at least here).
The Americas are the continent formed by central, north and south america.
>>59172325
I'd call them whatever country theyre from. Or I'd say either "North" or "South" American. If I only had a vague idea. Same way I'd call someone from Asia "Asian" unless I was sure of where they were from. If they looked Thai, Flip, Vietnamese etc I'd say Southeast Asia. If they looked like a Japanese, Chinese, Korean but I couldn't tell I'd say East Asia. If they were mongol or Turkic but I didn't know the country I'd say Central Asian etc.
>>59171256

>>59172422
Tbh that's pretty much how we think of it. Out of sight, out of mind.
>>59172449
They're technically North America, but people generally will refer to it as South as the Spanish influenced culture is more associated with it. But Central America as a term is more regional based rather than continental based.

But Italy was Italy, in regional terms, even before the nation was made.

What the fuck.
>>59172396
Yeah, like you can call yourself European and British, but when someone asks you where you're from you say Britain. The states were inteded to be soveirgn entities so it just doesn't make sense to simply call yourself an American because your state is in the U.S.A. just like how it doesn't make sense to simply call yourself European because your country is apart of the E.U.
