What do you call someone from the UK?

Whether or not they think it makes sense is totally irrelevant to the facts. Can I call myself African if "in my eyes" i'm from Africa despite being Eurasian? No, of course I can't, it's total nonsense. It makes sense so long as you accept that their personal views should take priority over what is objectively true. That's as much as you're going to get.

Also, it's Argentine.

We've just boiled down to the what I was originally saying! There is no nation of America! Yes ... the United States tries to claim it, but it shouldn't, it has no right.

This is what I keep saying, people from the US give funny looks to anyone from North or South America who say they are American and they shouldn't! Anyone from the entire Americas should be able to use it, but after years and years of US citizens using it to describe themselves (even going as far as saying that is official - but only because nobody is willing to stop them) it's become commonly accepted that 'American' is solely for the use of anyone from the USA. Don't you see why I'm saying that it shouldn't be the case? It's egotistical.

Yeah I seen how that previously read, there's nothing wrong with my geographical education, and I'm not going to claim there's anything wrong with yours either.

You can spin it however you like, but I consider it egotistical that the USA considers themselves the sole 'Americans' when, from the USA's view, there are two continents who do also have a claim to that. But we will have to agree to disagree there.

Argentinean is admittedly the US English term, but I have seen it in UK use. I think it sounds much better ...

You can consider the fact egotistical if you want, but when you take issue with clear objective truths it really does make you look anti-American (and everyone else who I've seen use USian or make objection to the use of 'American' have been anti-Americans)

I don't think "Briton" is right actually. Great Britain is technically the main land mass of the UK, and is not synonymous with UK; so I'd think that Briton referred to someone from this island rather than from the UK as a whole.

The United States of America was formed by states in America uniting. I think that is reason enough for their name.

I think you're being too politically correct. Are Canadians/Mexicans actually bothered about this? From what I've gathered, Canadians certainly aren't. If they aren't bothered, why are you?

That's not at all relevant.

Because they are not racially American because American is not a race.

It is a nationality. And they are not from the nation of America.

The UK is Britain, it's just different names. We're called British.

I mean the United Kingdom as a whole. Obvioously you could call him/her English, Scottish, Welsh, etc. Or even British. But what about the United Kingdom as a whole. Is there a term for that? I know this may seem dumb but I just thought of this and couldn't come up with an answer.
