    The name may be really stupid, but America is the name used to reference the United States and is recognized by hundreds of millions if not billions of people. North America: continent. South America: continent. The Americas: 2 continents. America: 1 country. Just because it’s dumb doesn’t make it not true.

      USians are arrogant as fuck. America is a continent. Country is called United States of America.

      Coincidently, USians asked where they are from never say “USA” or even “America” for this matter. They say name of their state or even worse, two letters like everyone around should know where every shithole in the US is.

        I’m not from the USA but it’s not that deep. Their country will cease to exist soon enough so why get worked up about it.
