I find this quite odd. Why do people from the USA just call themselves americans, while people from other countries are americans too? I'm Colombian and that makes me just as american as anyone born in the States. Does anyone have a good answer in why do you call yourselves americans?
Don't tell me that you are because you were born in America. The USA is just a part of America. Canadians, Mexicans, Colombians, Argentinians are all americans.
Spanish is the only language that has a correct name for those who were born in the States: "Estadounidense" Sounds long and nasty, but its correct.
I'm not giving people from the USA a lecture, I just think that you're more than americans. You're from the United States.
