Comment Comment by whb07 This isn’t an issue for anyone but for people like yourself.Like you said there are a couple words used for Americans in Spanish:Gringo, Americano, Estadounidense.That set of words does not intersect with any words used to describe anyone from South America. This applies to slang or official sources.Please show me an example where a Paisa from Colombia or Argentino would like to be referenced as “American”.In fact, especially with the World Cup win, any warm blooded Argentinian would fight if called “American”.Plus it’d be an easy fight as someone who’s pushing for “words are violence” has clearly never experienced real violence. parent whb07 3 years ago
