Surprised the crusaders haven't appeared yet saying "American" includes every country in the Americas... Canadians, Mexicans, Panamanians, Brazilians etc etc :-)
If everyone on two continents is an American, then how are people from the one country literally called America supposed to differentiate themselves?
USAers or United Statesians
You can't use the second because the official name for Mexico is United Mexican States.
