Come to think of it, it is VERY weird that we (Americans) never call ourselves American when we talk about our nationality. Well, some of us do, but it's considered very ignorant and overly conservative to deny your heritage. If someone asks your family's origin and you say, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, I'M AMERICAN," you'll likely get an eyeroll.
