Funny enough it actually mentions in the Wikipedia article that most Americans are unfamiliar with the slur. I’ll be honest without this thread if I heard someone say it, I would probably have used it unknowingly just assuming it was similar to Aussie or something.
This is not to make light of the slur, but if someone called me an “Ameri” I would probably just assume they’re French, which might be meaner than anything they’re trying to say to me.
