People born in Canada all the way down to Argentina are, in fact, Americans.

Agree that people born in the USA are American.

It's just that a subset has the same name as its superset.

What most Americans don't get is that the superset, with the same name, exists, they even deny it.

The official demonym of somebody residing in the United States of America is in fact 'American'.  How else would you call somebody living in the United States?  For people living in Canada, the demonym is Canadian, etc, etc

I think non-US people make this a *much* larger issue than it actually is.

America is a superset of North and South America.

In most of the continent they just taught about America, not about North and South (when I was a kid*). Then there was Central America which I guess is gone now. The splits aren't clear.

*I grew up with people from many parts of the continent.

Simple analogy Americans should be able to relate to:

Same way people from Africa are Africans despite being from different countries 

People from America (North/South) = Americans , makes sense.

but if there’s a differentiation i.e North and South. 

Shouldn’t the superset be NORTH or SOUTH Americans?

Same.

Just stating what many people from the continent that aren't from the US are (or were) taught and know.

I grew up with people from all across the continent.

Americans there learned that other people from the continent are also American (different meaning, though).

I speak three languages and in each “American” means somebody from the USA
