I understand some people may not even realize it’s a word that puts yankees before all the rest of America, or that English didn’t have a better word like Spanish (Estadounidense) and other languages do, but I feel that since this is a pretty big community and one where the word will be out there a lot could be an opportunity to help spread a better word that does not minimizes a lot of oppressed people.
You might want to explain a bit more. UK here and I have no clue what your referring to.
I believe they are referring to the fact America is inclusive of the entire north and south continent, not just the United States.
