Yeah that was weird, can you even be a tourist in your own country? I travel around my country a bit but have never been referred to a tourist (I’m from Dublin so it would be far too uninsulting a moniker even if was applicable though).
I know it sounds odd, but americans are considered tourists outside their local area. Dallas to New York City is around 1,500 miles so it's a world away basically. If I go to San Diego from where I live, around 100 miles, I'm considered a tourist.
