Why do brazilian academics use "unitedstatian" instead of "american" when refering to people from USA? That's like calling brazilians federativerepublican instead of brazilian. Could it be the low IQ?

USA isn't one either. Using the same logic, a south african would be a "southrepublican", since there are other countries in Africa.

Uh, perhaps it's because that's what they are called in your language and people won't change it because a cuck wants US approval?

It's not. Historically americans haven't been refered to as unitedstatians.

Also, Mexico is also called United States of Mexico, but oddly enough... they're not referred to as "unitedstatians", only as mexicans

Beacause America refers to the whole continent, not just the United States of America.

We call them like that aswell , estadounidenses

Wrong. Unless you're British, which you're not.

Uma delícia.

america = united states of america
americas = north and south america

What's the problem with "estadunidense"? It sounds perfectly fine.

also in italian - statunitense

We call the country:
Vereinigte Staaten (United States)
And the people: US-Amerikaner (US-Americans) even coloquially just americans.

However. America refers to the whole continent here.

We always say US-American like the 'US-American president said' in German as well.

You didn't discover these lands nor did you name them, you don't get a say in the matter snownigger.

>b-b-b--but muh vinland
fuck off

We just call them "fat pigs" and everyone understand who we're talking about usually.

We too. We use both of the words. 'American' is perhaps a little bit more informal than 'Unitedstatian'.

based

That could refer to british as well

Probably due to force-fed cuban propaganda

Wrong. America is the name of the continent.
Saying United States of America is too long, so they've shortened it to "America".

we do the same in Icelandic
the country is called Bandaríki Norður Ameríku (Bound-reichs of North America if you want the literal translation) and the people are called Bandaríkjamenn (Bound-reich-ians)
often colloquially called Ameríkanar or just Kanar for short tho

I gues it makes sense if your languages uses a 6 continent model but theres no conflict in english because America isn't a continent
