But “Americans” doesn’t refer to the continent, it refers to the name of the country. It’s really just shortened from “United States of Americans”.
That’s a very United States centric outlook. Most other Americans on the continent (north and south) also consider themselves Americans. Here in Colombia they call those of us from the US “estadounidenses” which basically translate as unitedstates-ian.
