I have honestly never heard "USian" in my life. Why not just use American? It's what we preferred to be called. No one's trying to claim all of North and South America.

Sure.

It's a political issue. Some people (mistakenly) believe that the continental separations within the Americas are based on bigotry and bias so that people from the wealthier nations can "other" South and Central Americans as outsiders (though how Mexico wound up in North America if that's the case I'll never understand). In fact, they're based on continental plates - a division you may or may not agree with but it makes more sense than the divide between Europe and Asia. Outside of South and Central America, virtually everyone alive does use American to refer to people from the US. Also, some (very ignorant) people believe that all languages work like Spanish, and that USian is something an English speaker could say out loud without sounding idiotic.

Having a South American complain about Americans using the term "American" is rich since they lay claim to the term "Latin" despite the fact that there's a whole other continent with countries that are the origin point to where the term was created and yet that can't have the same claim.

"US-American" then when people need to be unambiguous. It really doesn't matter what you want to be called if it's an ambiguous word, because "American" is clearly taken by anyone who is, well, American. And that's a hell of a lot more people than US-Americans.
