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?

Its hard to offend whats possibly one of the most diverse countries in the world. It was silent because it wasn't all that funny. Its something you say with friends because you know it makes you sound like an idiot. Aside from that, its a term we use to make fun of people with extreme ethnocentrism in America. A good majority of this country is made up of Pessimists who dislike living here by my observation. So, no its not offensive, it just makes you look like a foreign asshole if you're the only one laughing.
