    You just said it. I’m merely desribing local naming conventions. call any Canadian “American” (in English) and you will get a puzzled reaction at best :)

      You just said it.

      What exactly? I’m looking for an equivalent to europeans, africans, asians, europeans. Americans don’t get the special treatment of not being referred to in their entirety.

        I don’t know what to tell you and I don’t know why you’re getting angry at me - I’m not prescribing language, I’m describing it and yes, I’m aware this differs in other languages and other parts of the world. The continental model we use has North and South America as separate continents, therefore you might as well ask me what to call Africans and Europeans together.

        Anyhow, I’m not going to reply anymore since you’re being kinda annoying, sorry.

          I’m not getting angry, it’s a mixture of being confused and poking fun at confusing language stuff.

        The equivalent would be North Americans or South Americans, as they are two seperate continents
