I have never in my entire life heard the term "American" used to
describe someone from either North or South American. "American" refers
to someone from the USA in every country I've ever visited.
Do you feel a need to use the term "Eurasian" to describe the enormous
group of people coming from Europe or Asia? No. That's just pointless.

What the hell are you talking about? Are you serious, or are you just
trolling? Central America is not a continent. It's considered part of
the North American continent in any text box I've ever seen.

Fine, then take your strange definitions that are inconsistent with the
entire rest of the world but you still think are "correct" and go
somewhere else.
