USian, yes, but I’m saying something more subtle than you realize. Obviously I understand basic root words for what they are, and no I’m not the kind of silly liberal that imbues words with unrealistic magical power. For instance I always thought trying to force people to use “latinx” in place of “latina/latino” was stupid, culturally insensitive, and honestly pretty patronizingly racist.

I’m not what you’re imagining, and I do detest that tendency.
