Is the term "Spaniard" pejorative?
I am from Spain and used to have an English teacher who is Irish.
He once told us that the word "Spaniard" is used in a pejorative sense, and the politically correct one is "Spanish or Spanish people, Spanish man/women". Is it true?
I was wondering about it because I have seen that Americans use it very frequently in this forums in a way that seems to be neutral.
load of rubbish. I used to be an English teacher and the correct single noun is Spaniard or Spanish (S/he's Spanish or S/he's a Spaniard). Your Irish teacher was making a mistake - both are perfectly accepted as the norm, and it has nothing to do with political correctness - listento any International football match on the BBC, for example, and many of the commentators would say something like "that's an excellent tackle/finish/etc. by the Spaniard"
Not a problem.

I don't see it as very pejorative. I'm hispanic. A spaniard is just someone from Spain.

No it's just identifying origin.

Not when I use it...it means a person of Spanish origin...as in FROM SPAIN, not any other Spanish-language/culture country.

I have never, ever heard it used as a pejorative. Perhaps it's an Irish thing. Pejoratives are often colloquial vernacular.
