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.

If an American who has never been to Ireland can declare themself Irish, then you, who has never been to America, can be declared American.

USA can complain about foreign interference when they stop being said foreign interference to everyone else

Instance checks out. No shade - laughing at your (presumed) sarcasm.

Yes, it's these evil RuZZian fascist bots trying to divide their different variants of fascism.
