Also offensive: pointing out that English speakers do not use the word “American” to refer to people from Latin America. The term in our language is universally used to refer to people from the country America.
It’s so weird how some people are so committed to this. “United Statesian” and variants thereof don’t actually solve the perceived problem due to the fact that Mexico is formally the United Mexican States (Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia were all United States of their own in the past too). And besides that, there are so many other examples of countries using the name of something they do not encompass the whole of. South Africa? Not actually the whole of the south of Africa, it turns out. The Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo? Both not the only country in the Congo basin. The European Union isn’t all of Europe, Sudan doesn’t include South Sudan, and the only part of the river Indus that’s in India is in disputed Kashmir
hell yeah brother this country is called america and if the latinos dont like it well too bad were not gonna let them mess with our perfectly good english i cant wait for trump to finally make english the national language and dissolve statehood into a meaningless distinction under his divine rule so we can get rid of that useless UnItEd StAtEs part in fact lets change the names of the continents to get rid of the confusion we can call south and central america spainica or something and make canada part of our country so we can just call it america
