Are you American?? me too and I'm Chilean ........................?

Question

The use of American has a deeper connotation. United States of America is really a bad name, because America is more than just the original 13 British colonies. In English, many people use America to mean the US. A partial way to resolve this ambiguity, is the six continents theory, where North and South America are different continents, and then we can say Americas. Let's assume that this is true, then:

Why does the Olympic flag have only five circles?
To which continent do Central America and the Caribbean belong?

What do you think about this?

Regards

Answer 1

Each of the olympic circles represent the participating countries or continents(i forgot which one). Central America and the Carribean are concidered part of the Americas.
