The inhabitants of Canada are called Canadians.
The inhabitants of Mexico are called Mexicans.
The inhabitants of Argentina are called Argentineans.
The inhabitants of The United States of America are called Americans.

Well that's the polite name anyway.
As an Englishman I always think of Americans as colonials. Because as I recollect we, The British colonized that land mass a few years back.

Anyway, I'm English I was born in England, I'm also British because I come from Great Britain and I'm also a citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. I am also a European. So beat that for confusing.

I think it was the Spanish who first colonized America, but of course there were inhabitants here long before the Europeans arrived who acted more civilized than modern civilization.

I consider myself a human and try not to affiliate with being an American because that just states where I currently reside.
