      Where do you think Greenland is?

      Edit: Do you know what, I immediately looked this up, and it is considered geographically to be part of North America, so I retract my snark. But I do still disagree with the sentiment of your comment.

        Though a part of the continent of North America, Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with the European kingdoms of Norway and Denmark for more than a millennium, beginning in 986.

          Fair. Think I was editing my comment while you were replying. However, I don’t think anyone outside of USA refers to themselves as American, particularly those people from Greenland.
