No, thats not just a British protective, that all of the world.

It is well known how Americans use their ancestry, just as you described.
And yes, it's just odd, perhaps irritating (for Europeans), but it's just how they decided to (self-?) identity, let them express themselves. And it's not like they are keeping it a secret :).
