  • That’s the case in the English language, where “Usian” is usually interpreted as a derogative adjective, but how else would you translate “[IT] statunitense” as opposed to “[IT] americano”?
    I’m pretty sure the Spanish language has something similar to the Italian word, and I suspect that’s true for some other romance languages.

    I myself use “American” instead of “Usian”, because the latter feels… artificial, but at the same time insisting on the former feels like textbook UnitedStatesOfAmerican exceptionalism.
