Technically anyone who lives in "The Americas" is an American, but the U.S. has more or less co-opted it. Its weird, cause when U.S. citizens are overseas, they will say "I am an American," but we refer to our country as "The States."
"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"
