    I think you need to research what the words “vast majority” mean lol. The vast majority of Americans definitely do not know Spanish 😂

      Are you defining Americans as “people that live on the American continent and the Caribbean” or “people that live in the United States of America”?

      I think OP means the former.

        Mexicans do not call themselves Americans even knowing they are from North America.

        I’m defining Americans as most people do, the people that fucking sing God Bless America. Nobody in Latin America calls themselves Americanos, americanos son los gringos, de los EEUU

        People from and what they are called in English : Mexico - Mexicans, Canada - Canadians, Colombia - Colombians, Venezuela - Venezuelans, Panama - Panamanians, Brazil - Brazilians, Etc etc

        Do you see a pattern? People from United States of America - Americans

        Only on Reddit or Lemmy and places like them would you get a bunch of nerds storming in to say everybody in North, Central and South America are Americans.

        On CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, Voice of America etc.,etc Americans are the people of the USA.

        Or when they present poll results of Americans, they polled in Mexico, Ecuador, El Salvador, Canada etc etc too?
