I have dual citizenship -- USA + Spain (I am US born and raised and went to college in the US).
The question is: am I American? I find myself in the oddest of situations because I don't think anyone else experiences this. In Spain I am considered "americano" even though I speak 100% fluent Spanish and Catalan. I have been living in the country for over 10 years and people still consider me "el americano". But then, I am not sure if Americans (those born and raised and who do not live in Europe) would consider me "American". I've never asked but I'd be curious to read other opinions.
