I've been reading some e-mails from my supervisor and I've noticed that he always call me and my teammates "resources". For example, answering a manager's demand, he answered

At the moment I don't have any resource available for completing this assignment.

How can I approach him and tell him in a good way that we are collaborators, and not just resources ?

This is a common approach in response to a work (overload?) request. This is not meant to be about you or your team.

Collaborators are generally people who work together to resolve an issue, task, project, etc. You are a collaborator once you are assigned a task, project or otherwise with other people.

"Resources" cover more than people. This may include equipment, people, time, money and more.

Your supervisor certainly may have the people and equipment, but might not have available time in the work schedule to complete the requested assignment in the time requested.
