You clearly do have expectations if you are classifying people who don’t meet them as assholes.

People aren’t assholes just because they don’t accommodate your every preference.

> Why is it unreasonable to say, "I'd prefer something other than USian"?

Because all I’ve done is to fix my minor annoyance by making it the speaker’s minor annoyance.

And many people don’t like the term American, so now the speaker has to decide whether to please me or other people in the group, or come up with some ridiculous compromise like Citizen of the United States.

A big part of being an adult is dealing with minor annoyances.
