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.

    I don’t think it’s a scene, though, it is a bit annoying to not be able to be called what you are.

    Also it leads to disgusting things such as Gambino’s song saying “this is America” where in fact is not, I am not that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK87AKIPyZY This song talks about this, English auto generated subtitles are pretty accurate.
