No, Shakira is not American, she would never say she was an American, nobody from outside the U.S. would.BimboBob said:Which is in...? Go on...have a guess. I'll give you a clue. Stand on your street. Turn to the south. Raise arm. Point south. South of America. Where you live. South.
People from outside the U.S hate being called Americans (especially Canadians) do they? Why would anybody call a Canadian an American?
im thinking the point was that whilst we know its in South America, Shakira would say she was Columbian, just like people from Canada would say theyre Canadian and not North American...and im guessing most would say they were English rather than European..:)
