It's cause being American is a very vague concept. A lot of people here are either not natives or not native within the last couple generations, so to be "American" doesn't really tell you anything about a person. It's very detached, almost a political separation. To establish a sense of identity, we connect ourselves to countries with established identities. Plus, it can sometimes be an excuse to claim you have something to do with a country you admire.
