You definitely sound on the youngish side. As you get older this will just be an eye-rolling thing for you I am sure. I wouldn’t worry about getting revenge or “calling” them on it. You could be honest and say “We’re both Americans. Americans come in all flavors so I wish you wouldn’t focus on being the best american so much”

Great advice. I’ll tell you I’m under 30. This is pretty trivial, but for some reason I couldn’t stop thinking about it last night.

I was diagnosed with residual schizophrenia 3-4 years ago.
