I still think it's archaic to discriminate that way against citizens of other countries. (the best part being Americans calling them "non-citizen", exposing either some prejudice or some ignorance or both)
- refurb 12y agoYou haven't been around much I take it? Calling people without citizenship "non-citizens" is not a purely American thing.
- nraynaud 12y agoI have not been to many english speaking countries. I travel a bit, but mostly around Europe, and I have mostly seen signs about the nationality of the passport you're using more than the citizenship of the people (because there can be more than one).
- hessenwolf 12y agoNationality versus citizenship are not really understood by Anglophones, in my experience. Ethnicity versus citizenship would be closer to the way we speak.
