There isn't an American continent. There are two continents: North America and South America. Central America is a term coined to cover the southern part of the North American continent. Educate yourself.

My country is called the United States of America. There aren't many great ways to shorten it to refer to our nationality, but we've settled on "American." To make it abundantly clear, people from this country refer to ourselves as Americans. It is our preferred term. So yes, we do ask that you refer to us as Americans. From my personal point of view, if you also want to refer to yourself as an American, have at it. Ich bin ein Berliner and all that.

You're getting insulting here.

You do realize that I've been talking endlessly about how differently the concept is taught to us? Are you one of those smug USians that feel like the only valid worldview is theirs? I'm not here to make an erasure of your identity. I'm here to prevent your erasure of mine. Because let's be honest, if we put the USA and any other country of this continent in a scale that measured influence, you outweigh even Canada.

"Ich bin ein Berliner"? You sent me to "educate myself". Condescending motherfucking gringo, I have perfect knowledge of the context that sentence was used. I'm not a random citizen of the world deciding to randomly claim a foreign identity for myself. "American Identity" means a different thing here, it's part of my heritage, and the only reason I haven't left this fucking wank already is because I may get anxious about arguing, but I will not let my identity be erased by an overly-privileged butthurt First Worlder that can't even fathom the idea a concept may be subject to different interpretations and wildly depending on historical and geographical context.

YOU go educate yourself. Look around you. +75% of the Internet, the world's greatest library since the Library of Alexandry was destroyed, is in your language. But it's not by a god-given birthright it's this way. If it were about the bigger amount of speakers, we would all be communicating using Chinese-as-a-Second-Language. Now, I suggest you ask yourself the question (if you're capable of critical thinking, at all): Why is everything in English, then? And don't give me an answer like "BECAUSE WE'RE THE BEST".

Pro-tip: The British were the first to expand the numbers of English-speaking people by virtue of colonizing and exploiting the everloving fuck of whatever they could grab in Africa, Asia and Oceania. And now the US... am I expecting too much if I talk about "neo-colonialism", then? Or throw in some big words like "hegemony"?

"Condescending motherfucking gringo"

Gee, you wonder why people think you're being insulting. Every single post of yours is peppered with insults.

Do educate yourself before spouting off. :D

If you really want to defend the division of South and North America, I hope you also correct everyone who says "Europe" or "Asia" and tell them they should say "Eurasia".

Since, you know, America is considered one (instead of two) continent by political and historical reasons. Just like Europa and Asia are considerer two different continents because of political and historical reasons.
