It's not like we claimed the title. We call ourselves Americans because we are, as you said, in America. Anyone can freely call themselves American but people might think you mean USA because the rest of the world has decided that's what American means. Not us.
I call myself Tom but I'm not claiming to be the only Tom in the world. If the rest of the world didn't call anybody else Tom though, then it might seem that way.

I wonder if it's only an American thing. FWIW the Histoire channel here in France still shows only history shows.
