Sara ➽ Ink Is My Sword > Status Update

I think some people do, to an extent, but it depends on where you grew up. I am American, but I consider myself to be more of a Southerner. I grew up in Georgia, still live here, and only left to go to another state (also southern) for a couple years. To me, my identity is more tied to being Southern, because I'm from the South - that's how I talk, the food I like to eat, etc.
Does that make sense?

@Amanda
Right, you link your culture first rather than the whole country. Well, I guess it makes sense when you have quite different costumes, from the rest. But I still feel that if I were to ask someone from the United States, where they are from, they would say from they are American and then specify where exactly.
Am I complicating everything too much? hahaha.

No, you're right. I think that's the way most people from the US think of their identity - American first, then specifically where they are from. And no, I don't think you're complicating it at all. My husband and I were talking about this the other day - I've always thought it was interesting how people define themselves and how people from other countries define their identity differently than those of us in the US.
