      Wait, so “USAmericans” isn’t politically correct enough for you? Only “USian” is?

      And strictly speaking we have four groups:

      • Americans
      • Latin Americans
      • Whatever the fuck Canadians are. Quebecers are technically Latin Americans.
      • A few Dutch and English speaking places that we collectively pretend don’t exist. Like Jamaica and Suriname.

        I don’t think anyone using “USian” is gonna complain about “USAmericans”.

        Personally, I like Usonian. Or colonialist pig.

          I’m glad I didn’t have a mouthful of the tea I’m enjoying, because I certainly guffawed at that!

        I think USAmericans is the right one. Technically a Mexican is a USian because Mexico is United States of Mexico
