I'm curious, where are you from that "American" used on its own doesn't specifically indicate united-states-of-?
American is slang for something or somebody from the US. I live near the canadian border.
Canadians, Mexicans and everyone in South America all are technically "americans" and refer to themselves as such occasionally, often because its a necessary descriptor for people from particular continents in the same way "eurasian" is used to describe a multicontinental land mass.
Personally, I'd encourage people to re-adopt the word "Yankees" for US people, its a way funnier word.
Too many Confederate/Rebel/MAGA flags still flying for that.
I think its funnier to upset them by calling them yankees.
If you specifically want to call them something dumb it doesn't hurt to call them something new: S'ankees, Sou'r krauts, corn krauts, texmex, texish, etc.
I prefer Y'all Quaeda .
It's a stamce on here some people have to dub "American" as belonging to all of North and South America. It's basically just being anti-US as much of Lemmy is.
