    They said after unironically refusing to use our preferred demonym. We’re Americans, not USians. Do you call Spaniards Kingdomians? It’s the “Kingdom of Spain” after all.

      Canadians are Americans too, as are Colombians. And Brazilians. And Mexicans. You are (United States of) Americans. That is too long, so USians - think about others on your continent and don’t prove yourself an ignoramus.

      Not doing a good job of dispelling the “selfish and superiority complex” things I mentioned in my first post. There’s a reason “US Defaultism” is a meme and you’re proving it right there.
