I didn't say "gringo" was a good slur ^^;; It's just the most usual. We're aware of the diversity, which is the reason "gringo" is seldomly used to refer to any non-white Usian at all. (And when used, it loses the demeaning connotation, because it's not a "white gringo", and it becomes kind of a term of endearment.) You'll never hear someone talking bitterly about "that fucking gringo" if it's about a non-white USian.
"USian" doesn't sound that bad to our ears (I've heard the correct pronunciation is You- Ess-E-an, how were you pronouncing it in your mind?). In any case, I do reckon that maybe the sound rolls on the tongue distastefully for a native speaker. So I also hope we achieve in the future terminology we can all agree on.
There is resentment towards your government(s), not gonna lie, which sometimes spills down to the rest of the nation. But we won't go as far to deny you your status as a part of the American Continent, seriously. Just please acknowledge us. As the song I linked, that talked about our vision of an ideal America with true kinship and solidarity, which showed the flags of all the 35 countries in the continent, including yours.
