"America" includes two entire continents with dozens of countries. Are you saying that all of the hundreds of millions of inhabitants of those countries all drink exactly the same?

Louisiana is in the United States of America. The United States of America is colloquially known as "America". People who reside in said country are referred to as "Americans". Therefore, a person from Louisiana is an American.

Q.E.D.

The United States of America. Each one is a state that has its own semi-autonomous government. It is not the same as, say, a European country. Also, colloquialisms are not always accurate.

Q.E.D.

You should be arguing with OP, not me. Why do you wish to make such petty arguments, anyway?

There is nothing petty about the identity of a culture and a people. It is a very important facet of humanity.

You don't care about culture. You just want to argue about a word that references a nationality.

I care very much about my French Louisiana culture and heritage.

This whole "America should only refer to a continent" act seems to be schtick. Should I treat it as such?

No. Moreover, you should stop being so obsessive and argumentative.

It would be like France calling their country Europe. It is annoying and arrogant.

Except France is a country, and Europe isn't. Louisiana is not a country, but the United States is.

Also, you're the one who's "obsessive and argumentative" -- you're the one who started this argument.

Louisiana is a state in a federation of states. It is not the same as simply an area within a single country.

Why don't you just lay out your intentions and tell the entire forum what you want in the context of this topic?
