Also offensive: pointing out that English speakers do not use the word “American” to refer to people from Latin America. The term in our language is universally used to refer to people from the country America.

      The arrogance is when Spanish speakers say that English speakers are wrong for speaking English. The arrogance is you coming here and insisting everything to do with the English language is evil without needing to actually evaluate the specifics of the situation.

      A Spanish speaker going about their day saying “estadounidense” is not arrogant, and at no time did I assert that they were.
