Well, everybody born in the american continent is technically “american” too, including Central and South America. Is there a specific term in english for these people?
Edit: Thanks for all your answers, especially the wholesome ones and those patient enough to explain it thoroughly. Since we (South Americans) and you (North Americans) use different models/conventions of continent boundaries, it makes sense for you to go by “Americans”, while it doesn’t for us.
Especially since one of the states- Hawaii- is not in the Americas
omg, you just blew my mind 😮
We need to change our name to Some United States of America and the Pacific and also Caribbean and Oceania Territories (SUSAPCOT), which could be turned into Susapcotians.
Hi! I’m a Susapcotian 😁 <- big stereotypical Susapcotian smile
In our defense they weren’t a state until our country was nearly 200 years old
