Dragona, as a young man, all my friends were Nicaraguan. Some members of my own family asked what part of Mexico that was. LOL.

Switching over to the word "yanqui", I remember some Argentines concered that the word was offensive to me. (Thank them for having the "educación" to show that courtesy!) A Yankee comes from a relatively clearly defined part of the USA. Calling all American Yankees is like calling all Italians Romans, all Argentines Salteños, all Peruvians Cuzqueños, etc. It's offensive to me; it's just wrong.

Dragona, feel free to call me what you like. Just don't call me late for dinner!
