What has the science of culture, including the recent data mining that drove the recent round of political elections, proven?

There is no such thing as an “American.”

Thus, when news stories say, “A majority of Americans feel…,” I will ignore the stories and the polls on which they are based.

What I will listen for are, “According to your particular subculture…”.

American is no longer a homogenous term for the people who live on a portion of the North American continent.

Time for the term to fall into disuse rather than future/further misuse and abuse.
