Political correctness. Me, I say if the word America is in the name of their country they can call themselves Americans, otherwise they are just F'ing Foreigners <GRIN>.

I was looking through Shutterbug yesterday and noticed that 3 of the
6(?) photographers they were interviewing where referred to as "North
Americans", not Americans or Canadians. I have noticed this elsewhere. Is this usage becoming common? From what I have seen, this does not
seem to include Mexicans although this certainly spoils my sense of
geography.


I'm not complaining about anything, just curious. This is the only
international group with which I can discuss such things.  The UN won't
return my Emails :-(
