Comment on How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?

Do South and Central American words not exist in spanish? Soy de Sudamérica. Soy de Centroamérica. As the other comment said, this question is not ambiguous at all. And I know why people get mad, they hate the US, which I understand because they’re assholes. No one will deny it. Ask any self respecting american and they will agree.

But with all due respect, this is a dumb ass question. Respectfully.

In southern European tradition (which ends up in Latin America), those are not continents but regions. America is the Continent.

    Huh? That article backs me up?
    
    Most English-speaking countries recognize seven regions as continents.
    
    Different variations with fewer continents merge some of these regions
    
    The six-continent combined-America model is taught in Greece and many Romance-speaking countries—including Latin America.

    I’m sorry, I thought you were talking about the regions that matter. We already knew Latin Americans refer to it as one. Unfortunately, you have to convince Americans to change their adjective to whatever it is latinos prefer. Good luck with that.
