[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For Spanish speaking people in many countries we are Estadounidenses. For most Italians, we are Americani.[/quote] That is not true in most Spanish speaking countries. Name them.[/quote] Actually I will correct myself based on a reddit search. While I am fluent in Spanish and have lived and worked all over Latin America for many years, it's been a while since I've spent a significant amount of time in the Southern Cone -- Uruguay, Argentina and Chile. There, "estadounidense" is pretty common, which in retrospect shouldn't surprise me especially in Argentina where the people are very proud. These countries also consider America to be a single continent, so to them calling is "norteamericano" makes no sense. These countries also use "yanqui" instead of "gringo." The lesson is that it's always dangerous to generalize when it comes to Latin America. [/quote]
