It could be that the GP was using “American” to represent an issue of race rather than one of citizenship.

- jcafe 8y agoI'm asian-american myself and I was interviewed by other asians who I had trouble understanding despite being brought up around my own family's accent. I wasn't using "american" to represent race or citizenship. I didn't see think of them as american because we clearly did not share anything in common and had trouble communicating with each other. Side note: My grandmother is a US citizen, but she only knows how to say "Hello" and "thank you" in english. Bringing in citizenship feels disingenuous. EDIT: Citizenship comment is regarding this conversation and not the article itself. Sorry if it seemed like an attack.
- stochastic_monk 8y agoThe point of this article is citizenship. I was just trying to understand the point you were making, and thank you for being clear.
