You boycot american products because you think you are american.

I don't because America is a continent not a single country.

Hi, nice to meet you. Where are you from? America. Oh, like Mexico or Chile?

It's always fun to see their faces :)

This. I’ve gotten some pushback on it, but I believe the US shouldn’t own the term “American”. I say that as a US American.
