Pues tus generalizaciones son tan validas como las mías, con excepción de tu indebido uso de la palabra “literalmente”, y solo podemos acordar que estamos en desacuerdo, mis vivencias y experiencias son tan validas como las tuyas y estas me han llevado a conclusiones claramente distintas.
 
En ninguno de mis argumentos e hablado de que a “nosotros” nos moleste cualquier termino que no sea usado de manera peyorativa, esto implica inflexiones y escenarios específicos como señale anteriormente. Todo esta discusión empezó por el claro y deliberado esfuerzo de no reconocer al continente americano como un todo y puedes referirte a los comentarios al principio de esta suerte de foro.
 
As for the last I can only say that you are a racist, you divide humankind in terms of race and validate your arguments wrongfully trough pseudo sciences as Phrenology. Cranial differences among others biological discrepancies are easily found between members of the same family.
 
this is the last I will publish anything in this thread, It has gone far to long and to contribute any more would be pointless.
 
love and tolerate  
Good bye and be well

@butoman  
No lo hace. A literalmente a nadie excepto de un pequeño grupo de nacionalistas le molesta el termino. Tengo familiares en Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, El Salvador, y Uruguay, asi que no es que no se el sentimiento de otras paises, yo visito a familiares en todos esos lares todos los años, a vecez mas que una, y ninguno de los amigos de la familia, empleados, conocidos, o hasta mendigos que hablo con por que siempre tiene historias interesantes a mencionado esto como un problema. Los gringos se les llama imperialistas, idiotas, hijueputas, comebolas, pendejos, entre muchas otras cosas, pero ¿esto de que ellos se llamen a si mismos americanos siendo un problema? La unica vez que lo escuche en una visita a Arizona de un Latino que estaba enfurecido de que le dijeran que el no era americano, como si lo que eso significara no fuese obvio; tambien lo escuche en una reunion de marxistas; y por ultimo, una marcha del Frente Nacionalista en donde me aseguraban que mexico dominaria el mundo.
 
Ademas, eso segundo no viene al caso. Tu argumento que “nosotros” nos molesta el termino, como si fuese una invencion exterior que nos pusieron encima, es incorrecto y ilogico. ¿Acaso importa que a mi no me guste que me llamen negro si eso lo que soy? Bueno, negros acomplejados sin mencionar. Nos llamamos a nosotros mismos latinos por que ese termino identifica quienes somos, y quien quiera esconderlo es a mi parecer un mero cobarde.
 
Y eso es falso como el dulce sabor del helado de mierda. Un craneo de un africano, un craneo latino, y un craneo chino se diferencia con mucha facilidad. Eso es antropologia basica.

Mas que generalizar, lo que busque fue ser honesto al expresar un sentimiento y una opinión recurrente que se manifiesta al tocar el tema entre la comunidad en general.
 
Lo que quieras decirle a tu abuelita y tus tías es tu problema y en eso no me voy a meter, a parte de eso lo de latinos no es que cause disgusto generalizado por eso especifique “not that thrilled” sino que es a veces usado de la misma forma que el termino “Sudaca” que aunque despectivo es tecnicamente cierto pues describe a los naturales de América del Sur. Todo esta en el tono y el escenario en que se usa.
 
En cuanto al termino latino este surge desde 1856, por autoria de pensadores chilenos y colombianos, con intención de segregar la población anglosajona de la hispano parlante bajo el apelativo de RAZA y crear conciencia de la susceptibilidad a ser conquistadas de las naciones en el centro y sur de América.
 
Good intention but poor implementation because for all of us our race is Human and can only be subdivided in Homo Sapiens Sapiens and in Homo Sapiens Idaltu (extinct) other classification may come ONLY from Lineage and ethnic backgrounds and not anatomy or Biological anthropology.
 
When people take the title of race to describe their ethnic group, they are exercising self-segregation.
 
Peace out /)

@butoman  
Well, I be sure to let my grandma know she needs to be very angry about this as soon as possible and that she should tell my aunts and my mother to join her in her enourmous anger about it.
 
I’m mocking your generalizing, by the way.
 
Also, who the fuck gets angry with latino? That makes no sense.
 
Latinoamerica no es siquiera un termino que se invento a fuera para describirnos. Lo inventamos nosotros, ya que incluye a todos excepto a los raros de Belize (nota: no es que la gente sea rara, es que la situacion linguistica de Belize es rara). Si no fuese el caso, se usaria el termino Hispanoamerica (que tambien es su propia cosa), centroamerica, o las otras docenas de posibles terminos para referirse a nuestras regiones geograficas. Todo esta enojo por que los Estado Unidenses se llaman a ellos mismos americanos cuando hablan ingles es pueril. Llamalos Estado Unidenses y traduce eso a United Statians si es tan importante.

@Background Pony #0D58  
And we are not that thrilled about the term “Latino” either

@Background Pony #0D58
 
I have only a outsider’s perspective of the US Latino experience, and the opinions of Family and friends from there
 
But as for the rest of us  
Yes, yes we do. ALL THE DAMN TIME

@butoman  
Is this an US Latino thing other latinos don’t really care about?

@butoman  
I don’t really see a real problem. I mean there’s a New York in New York & two major Washington’s on opposite sides of the USA,so I don’t see why the Americas can’t have a country called America in it.

@Ace Combat Brony  
Yes, yes we do. ALL THE DAMN TIME

I have close personal relationships with people all across Latin America, and not a single one of them has ever complained about this supposed “issue” that the OP presents.

They have no name!

@redweasel  
Those are the 3 countries within the Americas I can think of that the USA seems most familiar with. Hmmm…

the best thing about this is it’s people from mexico, brazil and canada who get the most upset if you start calling them americans.

@Mega Rapidash  
Well now I resent people who think people of the USA are being insensitive when they refer to their country as simply “America”. It feels insensitive to my culture.

@OneOverTwo  
I may have gone a little overboard with my speech; though I won’t deny having some resentment towards the USA - and I don’t intend to back down on those feelings anytime soon - , I acknowledge that doesn’t constitute an excuse to insult people.

@Mega Rapidash  
To me you sound like you hate every person from the USA who has ever referred to their home country as “America”.  
That’s what’s coming across.

@OneOverTwo  
Do as you please. I couldn’t care less about individual usage; what really bothers me is when (wo)men of power there employ those terms in a malicious way, trying to disguise the authoritarian nature of their actions under a façade of sympathy. If not for that, I’d have absolutely no problem with that terminology.

@Background Pony #0D58  
@Mega Rapidash  
You’re both getting a slap on the wrist for that. Stop yelling at eachother like this is a schoolyard, cripes. And no “he started it” is not a valid anything.
 
Also how does this image even have 124 comments. Just…

@Background Pony #0D58  

 
Ignoring your foolish attempt at offending me by severely lowering the tone of the conversation like an annoying brat - followed by your hilariously meaningless attempts at hiding your insulting commentaries for whatever reason - , I may concede that the usage of that specific nomenclature by the USA citizens might not derive directly from their nation’s usual foreign policy, but I still stand by my view that there’s a connection between the two - not that all Americans have that in mind while employing those terms, but certainly many power-hungry politicians, businessmen or vainglorious fanaticals throughout history definitely thought of including the rest of the New World in their definition of “America”.

@Mega Rapidash  
What the heck? Why didn’t you say that eight days ago?!  
I already forgot most of this conversation. The only thing all of this achieved is making me want to refer to my country as simply “America” than I did before.

@Mega Rapidash  
You know, I might get banned for this and you might never read it, but I’ll have the satisfaction of knowing I called a fucking retard and pointing out that your mere existence in this thread reduces the average IQ by about thirty points.
 
Your instence in trying to find a reason to he offended (twisting history and oozing your ignorance with every single sentence you bane us with) is the single most pathetic and stupid attempt at trying to vilify people for false reason that I have ever seen here, and I regret every second I was under the impression you were a reasonable human being rather the likely self-hating trash you most likely are.
 
From an actual Latin American, go find a book and stop being so insultingly, willfully, and caustically ignorant you make our griveances look ridiculous by piling them with your load of bullshit.
 
If, on the other hand, you are just a troll, motherfucking congratulations, I am fucking mad.
 
Which is to say, no, the Spaniards and the French also made references to the “American” colonies but none of their respetive empires became a cohesive pseudoblock of distinct entities that required a generalized term. Getting angry at the fact they have been references as a block as Americans (and when needed refer to their state denonym when refering to themselves as something other than a collection of things) is as ridiculous as to get angry at the fact the multiple countries and groups of the middle east call themselves the Arab League despite not having all Arab countries.
