//You had already agreed that the Anglosphere saw America as a single continent. Here's your quote:
That was a misreading. That was not the Anglosphere that saw it as a single continent. That was the hispanic imperialists. They declared it what it was in their mind.
//The Spanish Empire no longer exists.
Yes, but Latin American imperialism still exists. Whenever their views are imposed upon others, such as others that live here as well. I am in the US and British / German origin myself, and feel we have the right to self-government and our own choices. We shouldn't have Latin America's perspectives forced on us like this, they already did this to the natives, and are now forcing their view of 'America' on sovereign nations that are from a different cultural background.
//You respect their own denomination, rightly so, but then you don't do the same for hispanoamericans.
This is different, I'm not forcing my views on others. I'm saying they are wrong, but I don't go into Spanish speaking venues and impose my view on North vs South America on everyone there.
In fact, my wife is from Latin America and I even speak some Spanish myself. While I stand against cultural imperialism in all forms, I could go around like this on non-Anglosphere, non-English speaking platforms and tell everyone they're wrong, but I would not.
//Then when shown that hispanoamericans continue to use the original meaning of "America":
Yes, original, if we accept Cortez, Pizarro, and Columbus's definition. But that's all it is. The imperialist view.
//I've pretty much lost hope of you being able to see your double-standard. This is my third attempt.
I think you're reading too much into what I'm saying, trying to trip me up. My stance is clear: the Anglo view is North and South America are two distinct continents. We view a single 'America' as hispanic imperialism attenpting to culturally dominate us since we are in the minority in this part of the world.
The English speaking and native Americans have common cause here.
//I don't find it acceptable nor just for you to say that my people's opinion on what our own continent is "does not matter".
But it doesn't from our perspective. The difference is I'm not approaching English-speaking forums like this one and telling people they are wrong while promoting the imperialist perspective.
//I don't continue to believe you're engaging this conversation in good faith.
I am, you just don't like what I'm saying. Of course many in the Anglosphere feel Hispanic imperialism every day. Our (two of thirty-five) nations among the Americas are already being attacked by endless waves of hispanic immigration, and now we are to adopt their views. I explained it best when I said I could go into Spanish speaking venues, as this is an English speaking one, and argue with people over this too. THAT is imperialism in action. I hope this makes what I've been trying to say clear.
