    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 dog.

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