How would you describe Americans?

As an American, I see americans based on their orgins.  The majority of Americans from my eye can meet one these categories.
1) A person who came from a family of peasants 
2) A Person who came from a family of slaves
3) A person who came from a family of heretics. 
 
A strange origin indeed.

This will end well.
 
Americans are bad motherfuckers, every last one of them.

People that live in America.

I'd describe an entire nation of millions and millions of people, made up of different races, religions and creeds as fat.

" People that live in America. "

4) Fat.

fat stupid bible bashing morons

I find that a lot of Americans are ignorant towards everything outside of America. Which probably isn't their fault. It's more the school systems fault.

" I find that a lot of Americans are ignorant towards everything outside of America. Which probably isn't their fault. It's more the school systems fault. "

I'd describe them as superior to Europeans.

I wouldn't generalize. I know of too many different types of americans too do that in this case.

BAMF

" I find that a lot of Americans are ignorant towards everything outside of America. Which probably isn't their fault. It's more the school systems fault. "

Diverse.

Us in the North East are liberal elitists that hate the South and West Coast of America...nothing in between the coasts, it's just filler.   
 
But seriously, the North East made the country.  All other states should follow our ways.

I find being an American is frustrating because no matter how hard I try to educate myself I will inevitably get generalized as being ignorant and fat. So I guess I shouldn't even bother trying?

" BAMF "

wow this thread was made to breed conflict! 
 
That being said I think of Americans as... people? fuck I don't know. I'm an america and don't even know what the hell I am!

There are things . . . outside of America? :O "

Fat.

A country of immigrants, who hate new immigrants, forgetting that they are all actually immigrants.

2) A Person who came from a family of slaves 

They don't have Melissa Theuriau.

Dumbed down, ranks low on the education system, illuminati controlled sheeps, brainwashed by the propaganda of the news, believes the play we call government and elections exist, overweight, unable to think for themselves, manufactured belif system, godless, hypontised and brainwashed by t.v shows and celebrity gossip, easily distracted, believes in ufos, 2012 disaster, intellegent life on other planets, over populated, incompetent compared to the power elite, overly focused on one thing, ignores the bigger picture, self rightous, immoral, incompetent.  
 
I say this with all due respect.

" A country of immigrants, who hate new immigrants, forgetting that they are all actually immigrants. "

Funny, innovative, creative, nationalistic, christian, excessive , determined and afraid.

Oh this thread can only end well.. 
 
I see them as Canada's slightly retarded brother. Ha! 
  
Honestly though i don't know, patriotic i guess, and capitalists...yeah i don't know what else. 

Well I get the ignorant vibe every now and then like how that one thread was all about bashing Canada and calling us "under developed".
 
But with that said, American's are just like any other people, some are generous and polite while some give us the image of the stereotypical over weight ignorant American.

Screw them and the Russians. I'm still pissed over the Moon Landing thing.

Like the english, just easier to understand.

" They don't have Melissa Theuriau. "

" @ryanwho:  Because the majority of Americans today are native Americans? Was that your point? "

" I find being an American is frustrating because no matter how hard I try to educate myself I will inevitably get generalized as being ignorant and fat. So I guess I shouldn't even bother trying? "

Ruled by the Illuminati.

in order to do this i have to generalise to the extreme, but i would say they are very confidant of their own abilities, so much so that they have a superiority complex over other nations and even over their own government. They are 100% certain that their own beliefs (whatever they may be) are the right ones and everyone else must be wrong. I also have to say that from what i have seen they are rather optimistic, they will always assume that they will prevail in any situation, even if they don't understand the situation fully. Like i said, this is not all Americans, not even close. When you have that many people coming from that many different nationalities, religions etc, you cannot say one thing is true for all of them. 

A mix beetween the people on AFHV and the shows on discovery channel, that's all I got.

" @ryanwho: Well Native Americans are Native Americans, not Americans and I thought that was obvious. "

I hear God is also an american.
