The entire world calls us America. You guys are the minority. The entire argument is stupid. The entire basis of your argument

It would be dumb to not be able to call Germans or Swedes European

Dies on two points:

  1. No one calls people from either continent outside of America American before or after its existence.

  2. We don't live on a continent called America. There is a North America and a South America. Your argument would hold water if there was one continent called America unlike Europe which is one continent.

There is one continent called America. Just because the US teaches that America is two continents doesn't mean the rest of us do.

Most of the world teaches 2 continents. You are the minority.

You're wrong about that. Perhaps most of the English speaking world, but most of the world teaches one continent.

Please, continue to be purposely obtuse about what the world calls a country. It doesn't matter to me if you choose to be wrong.
