They should be called United Statesians in English. I know États-Uniens is the official name in French.
What is it in other langages? How can we promote such use?
Why am I asking? The US administration is currently a disgrace on the world stage, and I am thinking how it unjustly hurts people from the rest of the American continent.
Note shat while États-uniens is sometimes used in French, it’s not really used beside some left wing intellectual wanting to brag about America being the continent and sometimes sounds mildly anti American but not too much
While it’s indeed a better word than American, one can also argue that USA aren’t the only United States as a larger federation e.g United Mexican states so you can make the same argument about états uniens
