npub1ymejr08suvgx4vxqly8plyyz8899qlm4jw85c73fvzsy84nas5ssfrr6e2 (npub1yme…r6e2) there is a historical context behind the names, both gringo and American. One is negative and the other is positive. When the US named itself, it was the first and only United States of America. It was the first colony to claim sovereignty in the Americas.

I feel that if positions were flipped and Mexico was the thriving high GDP nation and the US was struggling between 2nd and 3rd world status, I don’t think it would seem like such an issue that Americans called themselves Americans.
