Dude, Imperialism exists. Is real. I love when people go on and pretend it doesn't exist and can exclude the rest of the world when the rest of the world (well, at least a lot of it) doesn't have a choice in excluding them.

And 1) people won't know what I'm talking about because they barely know my country, 2) I will be basically saying, with all the imperialism going on, that I'm part of you! (Anda lot of well, remembering, maybe a couple of people overseas had already told me when I informed them I was from America that I was really part of USA, but didn't want to admit it or something.)
