Comment on How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?

North and South America are so big and diverse that there’s really no usage for the term “American” being used to refer to everyone on both continents. US just took the term for themselves and no one really cared enough to complain

Spanish speaking nations complain. They don’t mean USA when they say Americano

Okay, but most people in the US wouldn’t call themselves Americano.

Holup being from Spanish America I promise you Americano does in fact mean American, despite all complaints.

What are you talking about, all my life it’s been “estadounidense”. Americano was always politically charged and used by those promoting globalization.
