Mexico City is the largest city in North America. Now if they said US that’s a different story
I’m curious, where are you from that “American” used on its own doesn’t specifically indicate united-states-of-?
American is slang for something or somebody from the US. I live near the canadian border.
Canadians, Mexicans and everyone in South America all are technically “americans” and refer to themselves as such occasionally, often because its a necessary descriptor for people from particular continents in the same way “eurasian” is used to describe a multicontinental land mass.
Personally, I’d encourage people to re-adopt the word “Yankees” for US people, its a way funnier word.
Too many Confederate/Rebel/MAGA flags still flying for that.
I think its funnier to upset them by calling them yankees.
If you specifically want to call them something dumb it doesn’t hurt to call them something new: S’ankees, Sou’r krauts, corn krauts, texmex, texish, etc.
I prefer Y’all Quaeda .
I like that one too, it just doesn’t convey the truth their leadership is like a bunch of ivyleague trust fund kids who were trained to sound folksy by voice trainers.
It’s a stamce on here some people have to dub “American” as belonging to all of North and South America. It’s basically just being anti-US as much of Lemmy is.
Latinamerican here. “American” for us is someone who was born in the Americas… i bet it is the same for all latinamerica.
They didn’t say “North American,” they said “American.” Everyone who speaks English understands that “America” on its own is almost always in reference to the USA.
