Eh, Canada kind of sucks as well. Source: Canadian.

Wait, so "USAmericans" isn't politically correct enough for you? Only "USian" is?

And strictly speaking we have four groups:

  • Americans
  • Latin Americans
  • Whatever the fuck Canadians are. Quebecers are technically Latin Americans.
  • A few Dutch and English speaking places that we collectively pretend don't exist. Like Jamaica and Suriname.

I don't think anyone using "USian" is gonna complain about "USAmericans".

Personally, I like Usonian. Or colonialist pig.

I think USAmericans is the right one. Technically a Mexican is a USian because Mexico is United States of Mexico
