Well, everybody born in the american continent is technically “american” too, including Central and South America. Is there a specific term in english for these people?
Edit: Thanks for all your answers, especially the wholesome ones and those patient enough to explain it thoroughly. Since we (South Americans) and you (North Americans) use different models/conventions of continent boundaries, it makes sense for you to go by “Americans”, while it doesn’t for us.
I knew one that was called “Doug”. I’m not sure how much of a generalisation one can make from that though, but it seemed to work for him.
That settles it. People from the unites states shall henceforth be called “Doug”

And I have a The Beets concert tour shirt.
Meanwhile I’m over here banging on a trashcan and drumming on a street light
I sure could go for some more allowance.
Are the Doug’s Funny?
Who let the Dougs out?

We aren’t talking about the Doug with the wife that’s way out of his league.
Wait, I thought Dougs were the side characters from books who’s names are never relevant.
