pos: Names for United States citizens Names for United States citizens Different languages use different terms for citizens of the United States, who are known in English as Americans.

Other languages, including French, German, Japanese and Russian, use cognates of American

Nevertheless, for many, the implication of racism from Carrico's opinion is hard to avoid given what appears to be his deliberate refusal to follow Supreme Court precedent, and indeed, Carrico's opinion was promptly and unanimously overruled by the United States Supreme Court. In Loving, Justice Carrico stated that "There is no dispute that Richard Perry Loving is a white person and that Mildred Jeter Loving is a colored person within the meaning of Code, §
