latinos sometimes REFUSE to call us Americans.
They say “we’re Americans, too!!”.
Yeah, tell that to our Allies in WW2.
People from North,Central,and South America ARE Americans-—they are NOT all US citizens,though.

In the later 1920s the Republican presidents gave weapons to and supported the Marxist Mexican regime of Calles in his genocide of Catholics and Libertarians. In exchange for wiping out Catholics President Marxist Calles gave the US Mexican oil.
That created a anti-US anti-Republican Mexican Catholics and libertarians while just making the Marxists cynical.
Libertarian leaning Fox and social conservative Calderon changed that a little. But the cultural bent changes slowly.
See FOR GREATER GLORY with Andy Garcia for the whole story.
Mexico was an ally in WW II.
