They should be called United Statesians in English. I know États-Uniens is the official name in French.
What is it in other langages? How can we promote such use?
Why am I asking? The US administration is currently a disgrace on the world stage, and I am thinking how it unjustly hurts people from the rest of the American continent.
i definitely agree with the sentiment, but “USians” looks very awkward and “youessians” is even more awkard to say. i’d rather get rid of the name america altogether, both for the country and the two continents, and use indigenous names for everything instead of honoring someone involved in early colonization. granted there are many indigenous languages between both continents so finding something that works for and respects everyone might be difficult but if we could it’s two birds with one stone
