Where do "Americans" come from?

Answer 1

The people who most loudly claim to be the "real" Americans originated almost everywhere but America. The only truly indigenous people are the Native Americans (a.k.a. American Indians). The rest are descended mostly from European immigrants, but just because they were born here they feel like they can look down on all newer immigrants. I'm one of those descendants of European immigrants (German/Norwegian/Irish) and I'm ashamed of the hypocrisy of some of my fellow Americans who wouldn't be here if it weren't for immigration.

Answer 2

Americans come from the country called USA= United States of America. it is made of Native Americans and of immigrants from all over the world.

Answer 3

We all know the term American is refering to someone from teh United States of America. So its just an attempt by some to confuse or deny facts when they start bringing up that the USA isnt the only country in the americas.

Canadians dont refer to themselves as americans and neither do Mexicans.

And an American comes from being born in the USA or legally becoming a citizen of the USA from wherever you are from. But of course most Americans were born in the USA.

Answer 4

I was born in URUGUAY so Iam american with nacinality uruguayan
America is the name that eurpeans gave to the "new world"
not to a country
the term was 300 year later adopted by the states who conform the union in north america !
so when we talk about USA we are talking about a country with no name
because "United states " is not a mname rather a political agreement between several states an o"OF AMERICA" emply the place to be located in the world atlas .

"Americans" come from any where on the continents known as the Americas. The country you live in is called The United States OF America. Not America. Canadians are Americans, as are Mexicans, and peoples from points farther south.
