        By yourselves. In both Portuguese and Spanish, we call you guys "estadunidense" (united-staters) and keep "americano" for what it means.

        Yes, because of self determination. People can call themselves what they want. Why are you imposing your ignorance on others?

        South Americans tend to be very pedantic about the use of the word American. They can say what they want, but the world calls us Americans.
