  Spanish speaking nations complain. They don’t mean USA when they say Americano

    Okay, but most people in the US wouldn’t call themselves Americano.

    Holup being from Spanish America I promise you Americano does in fact mean American, despite all complaints.

      Que chucha, acá siempre usamos estadounidense, norte americano, o derechamente gringo. Jamás he escuchado a nadie decir americano para referirse específicamente a los de EEUU.

      Excepto la ropa americana, pero ese es otro contexto cultural que no tiene anda que ver con la discusión.

        I have in Mexico. Strangely “estadounidense” is not something a Mexican would call themselves.

      What are you talking about, all my life it’s been “estadounidense”. Americano was always politically charged and used by those promoting globalization.
