Right. That is my family. They literally say 'murrican' instead of American. They watch Fox News, read every Glenn Beck book, and were birthers. They think I'm a homosexual because I wear skinny jeans. They fit every single one of those stereotypes.
None of these things are judgements: they're statements of facts. They'd think that all of these qualifiers were positive.
You can imagine what happens when I bring up anything French.
When I lived in Korea one of my co-workers didn't have a problem with the slur gook. She equated it to mean people of rice. That doesn't mean that gook is no longer a derogatory term.
When people use the term Murrican they really mean, "Those people down south who are dumb as shit."
