    The only actual slur I know of is that North Koreans call Americans “white devils”. Which is ironic if you know North Korea’s racial demographics compared to America’s.

    There are a over 48 million African Americans, so does anyone know some insulting words or phrases people use against them?

    Then we can move on to the > 60 million Latinos (there will be some overlap).

    It’s important to recognize US diversity when dreaming up insults.

      Or you know, you could not focus on race, and just insult Americans as a group … oh wait, is that your insult?

    I’ve mostly heard ‘yanks’ in English. I don’t know if Japanese slang specifically has a word for USian foreigners as most situations don’t really care about which country and, if more specificity than ‘foreigner’ is required, it’s usually going to be some adjective/descriptor (loud, rude, skin_color_here, etc. in the case of people being those things).

    Yankee, Yank, Yanqui

    Seppo I guess but that doesn’t hit as hard because silly

    “Freedumb” is another one that’s too silly to really be offensive

    The term “Yank” is incredibly loaded with all kinds of stereotypes the world over, but it has a very different meaning in the US.
