Is the term "British" offensive?

I could understand it if they'd called someone from Scotland English.
What has always ticked me off is when people refer to my country as "Holland". There is no such country! Holland is just an area consisting of two provinces.
I am a Netherlander!

that just doesn't sound right. Netherlander...How about Dutch? Kidding!

BTW I understand how you feel. Don't call me Oriental!
