- You are proud to be a US Citizen.

- Canadans, Cubans, Mexicans, Brazilians, Argentinians, Chileans,

RE,

The Mexicans just may refer to themselves as : Norte Amercanos
-or- Americanos del Norte

The Cubans might call themselves : Americanos de Cuba.

Seriously NO Canadian would call themselves an : American [.]
- - - Even the French Canadians would say : Je Suis Un Canadien !

And the Argentinians, Chileans would most likely call themselves :
Sur Americanos -or- Americanos del Sur -or- Americanos Latinos

The Brazilians being slightly different would say : Americanos Sul

Only an American (USA) would Boldly Say :
I Am An American ! - and I Am Proud of It !
and so say i ~ RHF
