Via Muse, who wrote:
"The US should not be called “America”. Nor should its citizens be called
“Americans”. Interestingly, many ex-pat US citizens refer to themselves as
USians. Strange to articulate, but expresses their position on nomenclature
clearly.
The US is not all of the Americas. The “Americas” was a convenient designation
for the western continents decided upon by a European mapmaker, and the name
stuck with the Europeans. So, when they stole the lands of the western
continents, they just glued the name onto everything.
This humorous and largely accurate video lays bare all the insanity that is
“America”."
