  1. FYI I'm not really passionate about this topic, I just find it interesting people from the US and Europe (?) are unaware of this. America existed long before the USA existed I don't know about Argentina, which is an entirely different country, but if you ever want to annoy a Mexican (from Mexico, not Mexican born and raised in the U.S. because they were taught geography in the U.S.) and get an eye roll, tell them they're not American.
  2. I'm from Mexico, I have only lived in the U.S. for work for the past 4 years. We don't call ourselves American, but we are American, by definition, and that's what gets under our skin. We even have songs about it. This one translates roughly to "We are more American than you are"
  3. Oh,no, I totally agree, I’m Mexican this pisses us off, I was brought up to believe I’m American, because we are, and now as an adult all of a sudden I’m not because US Americans said so
  4. Actually, no. We’re both not right. You could argue he’s the first NORTH American, or the first United States of American pope but he’s not the first American pope.
  5. So we’re both right.
  6. Outside of the USA its considered one continent, America. I asked Chat GPT to explain it for us: Here’s a simple explanation: In many Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries, especially in Latin America, school systems teach that there are six continents, and “America” is one big continent that includes North, Central, and South America. This idea comes from the fact that all these regions are connected by land and share some cultural and historical ties, like colonization and the spread of certain languages and traditions. On the other hand, in the United States and much of Europe, students are taught that there are seven continents, and they split America into North America and South America. So, whether someone sees America as one or two continents mostly depends on where they grew up and how they were taught in school.
  7. I mean, that's kind of taken out of context... this is the first time in my life that I've defended Trump, but he did say "which is a nice, loving relationship"
  8. Democrats are so pathetic they’ll somehow manage to blow it
  9. Congratulations The world got a taste of this crap and is saying no, thank goodness.
  10. Makes sense! Thank you! They’ll be forced to compromise / get nothing done
  11. Can you dumb this down for me?
  12. The majority of people traveling as tourists under normal circumstances (have flights into and out of the country, with hotels and/or visiting family with known locations, the usual) or on business travel needn’t worry. I wouldn’t travel in protest, but that’s just me. Anyone traveling for any other reason should really reconsider or do some research. Here’s an infuriating example: https://www.npr.org/2025/04/02/nx-s1-5341465/jasmine-mooney-canadian-actress-ice-detention
