They call us Estudinese. Not Americans. Mainly because they, and I mean Latin America (there's that word again) think they're Americans too and many resent the Estados Unidos taking that word for just ourselves. The average American of the Estados Unidos isn't aware of this. We tend to have an ethnocentric view that the world revolves completely around us. I'm not saying they're better, we're better, or whatever. Just there's a lot more to it than some here know but think they know.I dunno. I'm thinking of North American and South American as two different things. Like I would with North/South Carolina and North/South Dakota.
