I’ve never had to differentiate before like I have in this conversation. I think I would say “US Americans” since it seems to adopt other languages calling us something like United Statesans without creating an odd word like Statesans.

Puedo harcerte una pregunta? si eres de mexico, te llamarias americano? Querrias hacerlo? Soy de los Estados Unidos y no me importa si te llamas americano, pero no se por que querrias. Yo diria que “soy norteamericano” o “soy latinoamericano”.
(Lo siento si mi espanol es malo, estoy aprendiendo).

Oh, fun - I just used Brazilians as an example in another comment. Would you ever say “I’m American” when you’re talking about your continent?
- Comment on How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"? 8 months ago:
While technically correct, I’ve never heard a Brazilian refer to themselves as “American” when they intended to mean South American. Linguistically, when you say “American” you’re talking about a citizen of the United States, not just any person from the western hemisphere.

It didn’t say anything because your brain didn’t know what to put in that text, it just knew there should be text there.

If you’re reading this, we want you to know that you are stuck in a dream. We’ve been trying to wake you. Please wake up. We miss you.
- Comment on Why are there so many conspiracy theories regarding soy beans? 9 months ago:
This was going to be my guess too. I’ve heard the “soy contains estrogen and can screw up your body if you eat too much.” nonsense.
I hate when people say stuff like that as they drink their 4th can of Coca-Cola of the day.
