minus-square☂️-@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-228 days agobecause calling them “american” implies the USA is the entire continent. i cant really call myself an american, even though i am. they stole the word to mean “them” like the rest of the continent doesnt matter. also in my country we call it “estadunidense”, which roughly translates to “usian”.
