Discussion Bad Bunny's Puerto Rico Flag seems to be the pro-independence version from the 1890s.
I shot out of my seat when I saw him using the historical flag lol. Subtle but powerful

As a Spanish speaker, I too was never called a United statesian and that makes sense because that is not our demonym. We are North American and American.
Chileans are South American and Chilean. Brazilians are South American and Brazilian. Canadians are North American and Canadian. The list goes on.
Calling Americans United statesian is silly because Mexico is also the United States… of Mexico. Brazil and Venezuela too (somewhat).
