Uh, the title is ambiguous, is it about America the two continents? North America the continent? Or about the U.S.A., the nameless, official-language-less count

Uh, the title is ambiguous, is it about America the two continents? North America the continent? Or about the U.S.A., the nameless, official-language-less country?
I know of many South Americans who would prefer the ambiguity to be solved so they can have their American identity not hijacked by the biggest and most powerful country on the same longitude.

- gbog 10y agoYes, I know, but still it is a problem, is it not? I feel that in the USA many people are very careful to not hurt the feelings of some minorities inside the country, which is done with good faith even if sometime it becomes very difficult to navigate through a normal conversation with soeone you do not know too much. But then, why not put the same effort in avoiding to hurt the feelings of all non US Americans? It would actually be easier.
