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

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?

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.
