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?

Dont get theirr speek'n not one bit. Edit: translation: We here, living in the United States of America, typically don't allow ourselves to become, in any way offended at jokes, snide remarks, or otherwise crude or mean-spirited bantering directed at us as a nation. We prefer to brush these sorts of comments off. However, we admit to have some trouble understanding people of varying different cultures and backgrounds as us, and would rather not play with such people groups due to our lack of understanding of their language.
