AMERIA is a continent theres no north and/or south

if someone is born in Europe is europen
I WAS BORN IN AMERICA and they say i'm not AMERICAN

Answer 1

North and South America are seperate continents. There are many historical reason why citizens of the US are called Americans and residents of other North and South American countries are not. Get over it. Americans were using that name long before the US became independent.
If this really bothers you blame the Spanish, the French and the British.
If this is really one of your biggest problems you're doing a helluva lot better than most people.

Answer 2

The more ignorant is the men the biggest they have there mouth Go back to school and ask a teacher how many continents are or ask in yahoo answers you only will find 5 not 7 Idiot
"Okay. First, read through your own crap before you post!"
America is not a continent by itself. There are seven continents in the world, smart one:
I bet you did not finish high school and you like it or not America es a continent not a country Mexicans are North Americans too
and the first wet back of this country were the ones who come in the may flower ship ... Mexicans and natives where here before
It is OK to be ignorant but you just cross the line

Answer 3

Okay. First, read through your own crap before you post! Make it somewhat readable and able to be interpreted without having to go, "What the hell?"

America is not a continent by itself. There are seven continents in the world, smart one:

Asia, Africa, Australia, Antarctica, Europe, SOUTH America, and NORTH America.

I would like to hear you try to disprove this. By the way, don't get all pissy because you're not referred to as American. Geez... aren't you taking this a little far? I know you know why you're not, so stop ranting, and go do something productive like studying so you can write better. Save my eyes and mind from the torture.

Answer 4

Actually they are 2 continents. North America: which includes Canada, USA, Mexico and South America:Ecuador, Brazil....etc.
But I do kind of agree with you.
However, Mexico....The United States of Mexico..call themselves Mexicans
The United States of America.....Americans...
Maybe the should have picked something different at the end!
gracias amigo. Y yo digo que sí, si se nace en este continente...es americano

Answer 5

it depends where you parents or grand parents are from then you would be called their Country name plus.American only because you wore born in America but your blood would still have another country in it.
