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.
fun fact: In Icelandic we refer to people from the united states as “Bandaríkjamenn”, “Men of the United States”.
In Spanish we have our word for them “Estadounidenses” literally means ppl from the USA.
