Counterpoint: there is no continent named "America." "North American," "South American," and even "Central American," or "Latin American," for added specificity, are completely sufficient demonyms for the denizens of the continents (and subreigon) writ large.

Very true, all the more reason why we shouldn't allow one country in the americas to lay claim to the term.

The US doesn't even have most of the most populous cities in the americas
