United States of "America" is one of many countries in the "Americas". Try
telling someone from any other country in the "Americas" that they are not
"American" and see how far you get with them. You are the one that is
obtuse and US centric. We are all "Americans" whether you like it or not

saying someone is "American", which indicates nationality, political
loyalties and certain ways of thinking.

You are confused. A person from florida is a floridian. A person from
Texas is a Texan. They may be a democrat or a republican. A person
from the anywhere in the "Americas" is an "American" Do *not* try to
use your US political correctness to redefine words used by the rest of
the world because that only works in your little xenophobic reality
while the internet crosses those boundaries and that is where you are
postulating now.
