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?

I make fun of people's nationality all the time, so I wouldn't mind if people made fun of mine. For instance: China: If it exists, it was made in China. If not, then it will be soon. Mexico: What Nationality? They don't seem to have any other than training themselves how to jump higher so they can jump over the border (They make great basketball players, tho). United States (North): Yankees who don't know how to drive, and never seem to piss off when they come visit the southern part of the US. United States (South): Redneck white trash, full of old people, and never stop preaching how the Confederate will rise again.
