If by "people like me" you mean people from South America then yes that's what I said. By the way I said I personally don't care. I was just correcting OP when he said that "literally no one is offended" when I know for a fact many are. Also I never said they wanted to be called Americans. And no idea what your point is with your violence blabber.
If your point is that it offends "no one", except "people like [the other commenter]", i.e. people that are offended, then I guess this would apply to any word about any group.
Like you said there are a couple words used for Americans in Spanish:
Gringo, Americano, Estadounidense.
That set of words does not intersect with any words used to describe anyone from South America. This applies to slang or official sources.
Please show me an example where a Paisa from Colombia or Argentino would like to be referenced as “American”.
In fact, especially with the World Cup win, any warm blooded Argentinian would fight if called “American”.
Plus it’d be an easy fight as someone who’s pushing for “words are violence” has clearly never experienced real violence.
