There are over 50 countries in America, including Canada, which is consider to be a very good country.
I think the term American as meaning people from the U.S of A is a racist term because it excludes all the other 50 countries.
1. America is a continent, not a country.
I think this it is a much nicer definition:
"Staters" (meaning: people from the U.S, becuase their country is called United States of America,
also the term United States of America is racist for the same reason,
It can be changed to United States of North America, but that will leave canada out of the map, or Better still they could be known as the United States (only) which is how people currently call them, it will be also correct to erase this part ("of America").
So I think they should be as followed
The Staters, or The United Staters.
United States (erasing "of america")
If you want to know what is racist we can call them British ex colony, like ex British, or United States of ex Britain
