I understand some people may not even realize it’s a word that puts yankees before all the rest of America, or that English didn’t have a better word like Spanish (Estadounidense) and other languages do, but I feel that since this is a pretty big community and one where the word will be out there a lot could be an opportunity to help spread a better word that does not minimizes a lot of oppressed people.

    De have the same issue in French. Here people that want to have a clear difference says “etats-uniens”, which could translate to “united statians”. It feels weird but maybe using it will get things better ?
