Is this offensive to you?
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?

It's come to a point where most foreigners think all Americans are obese, greedy, selfish beings while the nation itself is sole reason for all the problems in the universe and that the world would be totally fine if the USA never existed. It's pretty much the norm nowadays, like jeans. Seriously, I can't remember the last time I met someone from another country who had something sincerely NICE to say about America. Now THAT would certainly catch me off guard.
