Comment on How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?
DreBeast@lemmy.world 8 months agoDo South and Central American words not exist in spanish? Soy de Sudamérica. Soy de Centroamérica. As the other comment said, this question is not ambiguous at all. And I know why people get mad, they hate the US, which I understand because they’re assholes. No one will deny it. Ask any self respecting american and they will agree.
But with all due respect, this is a dumb ass question. Respectfully.

In southern European tradition (which ends up in Latin America), those are not continents but regions. America is the Continent.

Huh? That article backs me up?

I’m sorry, I thought you were talking about the regions that matter. We already knew Latin Americans refer to it as one. Unfortunately, you have to convince Americans to change their adjective to whatever it is latinos prefer. Good luck with that.
