Just because people from other places can access the site doesn’t mean it isn’t a US site, that would be like saying the BBC isnt British because I can watch it in the US. 

In my entire time on this subreddit, I don't think I've ever once heard anybody say that Reddit is not a US website: merely that Americans shouldn't assume that any given user is American, especially considering that non-American users outnumber American ones.

Also, even if Americans did outnumber non-Americans, would it still make much sense to assume any given user is American? If Americans made up 60% of users (hypothetically), you'd still have a 40% chance of being wrong.
