Same with Brits. Great Britain is unequivocal part of "Europe, but Brits will often call the mainland "Europe" and themselves "Great Britain". Brits get even more confused if you then ask them "But what about Ireland? Is is European or British?". Most often, brits will then get angry and just leave...

Maybe that's partly because I know and have worked with a lot of Americans, so I identify myself that way in contrast to them. Although us Anglophones also need to stick together against those Europeans.
