I think discussions of named geo-political regions can be pretty sketchy tbh. These regions are defined differently, sometimes dramatically so, depending on what country you are from. Panama and Costa Rica, for example, are considered to be part of the Central American landmass, not North America according to many sources, while others countries disregard the notion of a distinct Central America or even a distinct North America. This is a grammar school debate though because what exactly is a continent anyway? Why the hell is Europe considered separate from the Asian landmass? It's irrelevant to me because there is no single authority on this. The various islands of the Caribbean aren't part of the continental landmass of North America, of course, but according to some resources, they are considered, geopolitically, to be part of North America. Whatever.

The only people in the world who identify as American are people from the USA.
Ahem.
The United States of America.
And America is NOT a continent LMFAO.
North and South America are continents.
North America consist of Canada, the United States of America, Mexico and other countries.
Do Canadians identify as American? NO. Do Mexicans? NO
If youre of mexican decent and born in America you are Mexican-American. The same applies to others. Asian-American. African-American.
Don't blame others for your ******ity.
1st: America IS a Continent, divided in 3: North, Central, South.
2nd: You might not have traveled a lot or even a little, People of the American Continent are indeed called Americans outside of the USA.
We, the USA don't even have a proper name:
Example:
Estados Unidos Brasileiros
Mexican United Stated
We don't even know what we are, we are just
United States without the "Of America", which is a continent.
That we decided to let Hollywood dictate the way and we started calling the USA "America" doesn't mean we are right.
America is indeed a continent , we are to America what France is to Europe....Comment

According to Bumochenko fans, if he beats green Teofimo Lopez for the IBF, Vasily becomes 'Undisputed' ; contrary to what the president of the World Boxing Council has told the media : that the 'Franchise' title is not a world-championship, only a 'honorary' title.
However, If Teofimo KO's Vasily, Lomachenko's fans will not recognize Teofimo as 'Undisputed'. No doubt about it.Comment

North America
South America
Europe
Asia
Australia
Antarctica
Africa
Even if you wanted to consider the North America and South America together itd be referred to as "The Americas". That "s" means plural if you didnt know. That means multiple.
If people want to mislabel what it means to be "American" thats on them. Mexicans who are native to Mexico do not identify as Americans and neither do Canadians who live in Canada.
All forms, America, USA. United States are all proper ways to refer to one born in America.
Please learn some history.
This country was explicitly called the United States of America since July 4, 1776
From the very first sentence of the Declaration of Independence
"The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
You cant see me but im face palming my head.
But you want to blame it on Hollywood. How does that make any sense!?Last edited by R-Hand Southpaw; 09-22-2020, 11:35 AM.Comment
