What are we are referred to as? Needs to be put to rest.

Regarding your attempt to use the term, “Estadounidense”, no doubt someone will point out that Mexico is actually the Estados Unidos Mexicanos, so you are no further ahead.

Uh, well, um, Estadounidense is the word that I have heard Mexicans use. I looked it up in my SpanishDict application and the application translated it as American. So, um, that is what I thought would be useful to translate back into English. And, well, yes, I guess Estadounidense could technically also connote a Mexican citizen. Ah, sorry.

How 'bout, "Clueless Gringo enamored with Zihuatanejo, Mexico, originally from the country north of Mexico that invaded Mexico three times?"

(I guess you just can't please everyone, eh?)
