Also offensive: pointing out that English speakers do not use the word “American” to refer to people from Latin America. The term in our language is universally used to refer to people from the country America.

I don’t believe ethnocentric is the correct term (I mean, clearly. I don’t believe there’s anything wrong with it. But if there has to be a label you can apply, ethnocentric isn’t it.). American is not an ethnicity. Asian Americans and African Americans are every bit as American as white Americans and Latino Americans. The only ethnicity with a better claim than all those others are Native Americans.
