Yes, hiatus is a word that doesn't always work for me
Dude, Imperialism exists. Is real. I love when people go on and pretend it doesn't exist and can exclude the rest of the world when the rest of the world (well, at least a lot of it) doesn't have a choice in excluding them.
Just saying, United States of America.
ETA: I think what bothers me of the victimization going on is that you may dislike USian, Usonian, whatever because you find it silly or what the hell, but then you leave me, by your supposed "right to reject whatever term because THE OTHERS WILL DEFINE YOU," with no choice but to call you by my own identity when I want to talk about you. And 1) people won't know what I'm talking about because they barely know my country, 2) I will be basically saying, with all the imperialism going on, that I'm part of you! (Anda lot of well, remembering, maybe a couple of people overseas had already told me when I informed them I was from America that I was really part of USA, but didn't want to admit it or something.)
You see what difference of power does to a "dilemma" like this?
DAUGHTER OF ETA: This video is very awesome. Lets join Antarctica, people. I think is sensible.

I mean, what are you talking about? Of course we live in the modern age where everything is equal and there is no oppression at all, ever!I took your icon, and <s>eat it </s> double it
Yes, because I'll be oppressing a person from US if I call them Estadounidense or something when I don't want to call them "Americana/no" if they just happen to dislike the term!YAMAMOTO ♥ ♥ ♥ Love him so much.
Oppression! How evil! Obviously it's the people who are called USian against their will who are the victims here, not those whose identities they've appropriated and/or defined and/or denied and/or trampled on for years!PS: I need to watch that video, it looks pretty cool.

Es que es tan. tan. frustrante todo eso! Dije que no iba a decir nada pero vi la thread que linkeaste arriba y. WHAT THE FREAKING HELL.
Yo ilusa ayer pensaba que todo iba a aclararse rápido, claro CÓMO ES DIFÍCIL ENTENDER EL PUNTO DE LA DISCUSIÓN. Pero no, porque la identidad que les imparten en el resto del mundo es otra, claro. AGH.
CÓMO ESTÁS. ESTUDIA, HONEY. TE QUIERO.

Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata
Estados Unidos de Mexico
Estados Unidos de Colombia
A NADIE MÁS SE LE OCURRIÓ DECIR "LOL SOMOS TODO EL CONTINENTE".
Y lo digo acá porque en el post de JL ya estaba a punto de matar gente.

(Y honestamente, para toda la discusión? Por qué no se llamaron Estados Unidos de Norteamérica? DON'T YOU SEE.)

Pero ahí se pierde su punto de 'lol no es un solo continente'.
no subject
XD Pero en serio, es que esa discusión no tiene el menor sentido, el punto era que "América" le envolvía a un grupo, y que sea uno o dos continentes muy relevante no es para decir que "América" no va de Canada a Argentina, y no creo que nadie discuta eso.
