What does it mean to be an American?

3. Well here's what I found out about America while living in Costa Rica.

1. What the US thinks is America is bullshit. That if you say you are American here, you will get pushback. Costa Ricans are American also. As are Canadians, Mexicans and anyone else born on these two continents. We have to say we are from the US.

US has coopted the word and selfishly think they are some superior country.

2. It’s really hard to get money from accounts in US because of all the money laundering from US to Latin AMERICAN countries.

3. All in all US govt is what is screwing the world. Not America.
