    I, as an American, write “The US” the refer to the country specifically to avoid confusion. But there’s not really another good demonym that’s not an slur. “Estadosunidenses” is too much of a mouthful and “Statesman” has another meaning.

      It always feels odd to me that the Spanish demonym specifically is that when Mexico is also “Estados Unidos Mexicanos”, or the United Mexican States
