From Spain here, when we want to speak about USA people we use the term “yankee” or “gringo” rather than “american” cause our americans arent from USA, that terms are correct or mean other things?

    Hi, Brazilian here.

    I’m sorry, but “the number of Americans who don’t live in the US is tiny”?? WTF?

    Hi, South ~~AMERICAN!!! here.

    the US doesn’t get to shove their so-called “democracy” up our asses, impose their monetary exchange, be proud of their stupid ass imperialism, force people to learn their dumb as fuck language and then go “yeah, it’s OUR language, you can’t dictate how we call ourselves”

    Sorry, dude, but you kinda lost the privilege to “dictate” your own language when you decided to think about the whole third world as your backyard and to name yourselves after THE WHOLE FUCKING CONTINENT.

    peace, bye!

      Might want to check who you’re actually talking to here. You seem to be making some incorrect assumptions.
