        Never seen this applied to South America before. Pretty sure they’d be just as pissed off if you called them Americans as Canadians are if you call them Americans, even if America is in their continents name.

      Given that South America has a greater native genetic pool but still mixed genealogy, International Standard would be adept.

        Take concept of e.g. “Edda van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston” -> Audrey Hepburn…

        Add “stereotyping”…
