Are Canadians supposedly Americans?

Americans who wandered too far north?

This sounds like Putin's view of Ukrainians.

Ukrainians are Russians who wandered off and adopted a mistaken identity.

as are Mexicans, all inhabitants of the continent of North America.

If Russia were a continent, then Ukraine (and I guess China) would be Russian.

When we lived in Venezuela folks would ask us where we were from. We always said we were Americans.

The response was “we are all Americans. We are all the New World”.

Whoa! Never thought about it like that!

Finally started answering “I’m a Texan”. 😉

Texans came to Venezuela in the 1930s.

And he looks so out of place
With his shrimpskin boots and his cheap cheroots
And his skin as white as paste
