I spent 15 years living overseas, Donovan.  Which of us do you think
might be better acquainted with anti-American culture?

I know that USian is used by some in a pejorative manner, but not in
the majority of cases, despite your limited sampling.  There are few
words in the English language-- arguably, none -- that cannot be used
pejoratively.

I, and ALL of the people whom I know, or have known, who use the word
USian, use it as a less-ambiguous alternative to "American" when
referring to United States nationals.
