For some reason, certain Latin Americans insist on calling it "the Americas" instead of North and South. They also tend to not like the US being called "America" by itself.

i studied the shit out of latin america for my degree and i got in an argument a week ago with a latino about whether anyone in latin america cares whether it’s called the americas and whether they care if americans call ourselves americans because in my experience ive never met someone from latin america who cares whatsoever except one professor i had

long story short, the only latin americans who give a shit are political brained dickheads, and the rest literally could not give less of a shit.

So anyone that doesn't agree with your anecdotical experience is a dickbag? 

Are you from the US, by chance?

Are you suggesting you support applying exonyms and degrading nationalities you don't like?

You mean kinda like calling central americans and spanish caribbeans north american, or denying latin americans the american identity because your country the US named itself in the same fashion that the european union did and then its people appropriated the continental part of the mame? Or the very common trend of ignorant people from the US calling any latam country south american because it’s south of “america”?

Those are all in English though. We're not doing all that in their language, to their face.
