I would like to know of it is offensive to Americans when someone in a fireteam party says "Merica!" or refers to one as a "Murican". And not also when playing Destiny but also in this forum. I am not from the U.S. so I would like to know.
Last night doing the raid one party member blew himself up by firing a rocket launcher directly inside a Titan's shield, and when he laughed someone else said "...that's not funny...it may be to you because you hail from Murica!"... and I thought that was funny but did not laugh because silence ensued. Everyone kept quiet about it.
So is it an offense? The internet tells me Americans like to joke about it too, but I dont know if its the same as being called a bitch or an idiot.
Any thoughts?

The lack of an 'A' means what, I'm too rednecky to include it if I'm from the South? That's what it seems like. Also, the fact that it's that one-word statement implies that we all have super ego's and yell it in everyone's faces. If you're asking for real, seriously. If you weren't being serious, enjoy the anti-US insults below me. I'm from the North, maybe the perspective differs from all over.
