Answer 2

an american is someone who lives in america who takes pride in the country. americans are a diverse people who have many cultures and ethnic backrounds, but are willing to learn and enjoy people from all walks of life. americans are the result of the melting pot. our country is like a great mismatched quilt with millions of different pictures and colors on it; sure we have some arrogant a**holes that put holes in our links, but they are so few and far between that they will eventually peter out over time as we as a people grow to be more accepting and understanding.
