    I’m not anti-america.

    This is the same thing as when people get upset about saying ‘chai tea’ or ‘hound dog’

    It was originally something else, people from a certain place used it differently, and now it’s its own word. I was being snarky, I myself use ‘American,’ at the end of the day, who cares?

      Fair enough. There’s a lot of tankie here that make the same argument as you, but because they just hate the US. Their preferred term is usually USAsian though, so maybe I should have recognized you weren’t one of them.
