Re: Americans, what would you rather be called...

[cloud_riven]

Kind of related, but my dad is super anal retentive about the America thing. The whole, "IT'S NOT AMERICA! IT'S ONLY A part OF AMERICA!"

Except he also finds it very important not to conflate North, South, or Central America with each other, and feels personally affronted if you call him a North American despite Guatemala technically still being in that North bit. Fair enough I guess.

Really though, unless it's commonplace to call n/s/c. Americans as just Americans, I'm going to stick with calling United States' folk Americans.

eta: forgot to mention that I say Americans if I'm speaking in English. Like, if I'm talking to said dad, or any Spanish folk really, I say, "estadounidenses". Americano is okay afaik, and "latino american@" is also fair if you want to be specific.

how is guatemala technically in "that north bit"? i guess part of it is on the north american tectonic plate but isn't most of it on the caribean one?

there isn't an objective division of continents anyway, i guess lots of people in the us are taught north america and south america as 2 continents and nobody cares about central america, but in a lot of latin america we know America as one continent that has the three sub-continents.

Re: Americans, what would you rather be called...

because of it being in the northern hemisphere.

like you say though, it's not really a clear or obvious division anyways.

my family would never consider themselves north or south americans, but they don't feel strongly about being called central americans either since it's more to do with geography and would rather be called by their actual nationality. however they're okay with being americanos too, kind of how a european is still a european (not a western or eastern european or whatever divide exists there) since it's referring to region, not nationality or identity.

Technically speaking, there is no such thing as Central America, only North and South America. There's only two continents there. Mexico is in North America, too. People forget that all the time.

Re: Americans, what would you rather be called...

This. "Central America" makes sense as a geopolitical term, but it's not a continent. Insisting it be used on the same level as North or South America is like insisting people say that Spain is in Iberia rather than Europe.
