Am I American?

I'm AN American, for sure.

You Are 56% American

Most times you are proud to be an American.
Though sometimes the good ole US of A makes you cringe
Still, you know there's no place better suited to be your home.
You love your freedom and no one's going to take it away from you!

You Are 70% "Average American"

You are average because you rate your appearance 5 or higher.

You are not average since you have (at least) a college degree.
