I'm British and have no problem with being called a 'Brit'.  

Meaning however, is mostly contained in the manner of delivery: You can
say the sweetest words and cause grave offence depending on how it is
said and who it is said to ... imagine the problem if you called your
President 'darling'. It is entirely possible for someone to call me a
Brit in a tone or manner which means it as an insult.

FYI: it's Great Britain, not Briton [ which is a brand of ironmongery ]
or Breton [ a language spoken in spoken in Brittany, an area in the
northwest of France ].
