Modern day Ireland and modern day America couldn't be more different. Back in the early 1700s you could claim they were similar, but these days they are so far apart.
I would, and do, put a label on everyone from USA that calls them American. LeBron is an American, you are an American, Ken Yong is American. You're all American. Nothing more. American. American. American.
Your culture is so different from anything in Europe, there is no comparison. It's American culture.
It'll be a cold day in hell before any European recognises an American LARPing as one of them.
