Well, everybody born in the american continent is technically “american” too, including Central and South America. Is there a specific term in english for these people?
Edit: Thanks for all your answers, especially the wholesome ones and those patient enough to explain it thoroughly. Since we (South Americans) and you (North Americans) use different models/conventions of continent boundaries, it makes sense for you to go by “Americans”, while it doesn’t for us.
It’s also called Gaia, but Gaians sounds silly.
Why?
It has a nice ring to it but as a Master of Orion player, Gaia stage is the ultimate stage of eco balance in a planet, not a native from it.
