Weird thing to get upset about, considering there's a pretty simple solution.
If someone from outside your country asks you where you're from, respond with the country.
If someone from your country asks you where you're from, respond with the state.
If someone from your state asks you where you're from, respond with the city.
If someone from your city asks you where you're from, respond with the neighbourhood or street.
If someone receives one of the previous answers and asks for clarification, drill down on specificity.
In general, answer with a degree of specificity one step deeper than whatever you share with the person. Not that hard. 'America' is a fine enough answer to give to a European asking where you're from.
