I’m a latino-americano, who sees himself as a Black man. Besides, I’m a leftist and I like Arch Linux a lot!

Weird, here almost no one says americanos to refer to Usonians, we mostly say yanqui or estadounidense, but I’ve heard people use it even though it is grammatically incorrect in Spanish. English imperialism is strong and it likes killing language biodiversity.

Of course comrade! Here, in Brazil, Most people who speak Portuguese-Brazil intersperse English with their native language, turning speech into something strange and nonsensical. Many of the words they use in the English language here we have the same in Portuguese but, due to imperialism and other things here in Brazil, many use English in certain things. Like for example the word “Rebranding” which in Portuguese is “replanejamento”, or the change of “Reunião diária” to “daily”… And many other words that are being changed to English. We are losing our original language.

Obs.: Sorry for my English, i use some translaters for my help… but i don’t know if my write is good enough.


Brazilian guy here. In my country we use the word “Estadunidense”, similar with Spanish speakers. But, most of the people here still prefer the use of “Americanos” (Americans in English). I, on the other hand, always use the term “Estadunidense”
