What I mean is that when you use the term American, it refers to Central, South, and North America. A lot of the time, people just use the term to describe people from the United States, which is silly, because if you're saying how Americans are ignorant or something else, you're pretty much insulting three different areas. Why not just call them "United Statesians"? haha, okay, so that sounds pretty awful. I guess they just stick to Americans because there isn't a way for getting a better, less generalized name. But I think there should be. :/

I've heard the term "US Americans" used in a lot of intercultural communication scenarios. Maybe that works best.
And to the snotjob above me, we had our own culture until the Europeans came and sent my ancestors on the Trail of Tears.

Because we are a country of states., united. In so America they are individual countries. Like Brazilians, Colombians etc. Mex. Is Mexicans, or Latinos. Central America, Panamanians, See what I mean. To call us anything but Americans, you would have to isolate out state and call us like , Californians, Oraganites, Utahans, That would be time consuming. Good question.,

I understand sufficient human beings to no longer think any stereotypes, in spite of the undeniable fact that rationale you asked, the stereotypes are human beings are fat, arrogant, blind to the remainder of the sector, lifelike minded, and surely very selfish. I understand you have gotten extremely a great number of stereotypes approximately Canadians, so i don't have faith too risky approximately it. Like I reported, that's no longer actual @Sarah M, how does fat and correctly actors bypass mutually?

I live in Scotland and I (along with everyone I know well) do not make stereotypes about Americans. I don't think alot of people do at all.

Stereotyping is for people who are too lazy to see the real picture.
