You're welcome and it's true.

To me American can be any person from the Americas, that's why I never use it. And not all USers are rednecks. Just by reading the first sentence in any post of yours, I can already see Uncle Sam.

I don't get that. Globalism impacts more people than just Americans (the word that the vast majority of the world uses).

Silverknight for sure.

True. The official translation of the US to Japanese is "America" for example but... That does not apply to us south Americans so you'll never see me saying "American" to talk about a citizen of the US. We normally use "gringos" but due to past experience I've noticed that word is even more unpleasant to you lol

When you say Americanized, I would assume that you meant someone who is not American but acts it.

I agree, calling Americans Americanized is dumb.

Indeed. OP should have used "typical", "representative" or even "stereotypical" as I mentioned above.

You can call me whatever you like. Isn't "gringo" just like "spic" or "wetback", an ethnic slur?

Depends on the context or how some one says It tone gestures etc, but mostly Indeed It Is.

That's what I thought. It sounds like it's the Latin American version of the dreaded and taboo "N" word.
