Blame Americans.
Comments like this are so ironic because this level of ignorance makes you sound like a Trump voter. You’d fit in really well here amongst the 70 million people who voted for this.
“America” is three continents. And even in the USA this regime is deeply unpopular, hence all the protests. I don’t think we’re all that great at resistance yet, but we are trying.
The wealthy elite in the USA have successfully displaced the blame by convincing the people to fight each other instead of them, and here you are blaming “Americans” instead of the people actually responsible.
When someone says American, they mean a USA resident. I don’t know anyone who would assume they mean a Canadian or Mexican, since you use those terms for them.
That was only one of the points I made. Since you ignored the rest of my comment, and mentioned my username, it really doesn’t seem like you’re saying this in good faith.
People assuming “American” means resident of the USA is a problem.
Why? You have North Americans and South Americans to cover the others?
What else would you need to include in the term Americans?
North America is Canada and the USA. And there’s also central America, which isn’t included in those two terms.
It’s a problem because ignorant USians think of themselves as the center of everything, and referring to them as “Americans” further entrenches this selfish world view.
What countries have the word “America” in them? How many countries in the Americas are “united States”?
What do you call a citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?
For the record, The United States of America is the only country with the word America in it’s name. Our immediate neighbor, The United Mexican States, is another country you could, but no one would, plausibly call the United States.
The British isles contains two countries, Ireland and the UK. One of these is the home of the British, and the other would be much happier if you didn’t call them that.
Insisting that you not refer to the people of a country by the most unique name in the countries name, because the geographic region has that word in common is … Odd.
