Thank you.

Last night my Internet died and I couldn't say many things I wanted, but your comment expresses more eloquently what I wanted to say and more.

Specially this: "But it's ours too! And it's upsetting for us that, since the entire world consumes your mass-media and culture, the name has prevailed for so long."

I want to add that I think most people don't realize the mass media made in USA is also consumed in Spanish speaking countries and it's affecting the culture and language too.

It's pretty common in my country, for example, for Obama to be called "el presidente de America" or "El presidente Americano" which it's disturbing since in Spanish they could easily say "el presidente de Estados Unidos" o "el presidente Estadounidense".

The connotations are worrisome too and I think that is not too much to ask for US Americans to at least understand why many of us dislike calling them "Americans" and wish for another term that is more respectful for all the people in the continent.
