American

Technically, Americans are simply people from the Americas- i.e. North America or South America. Very commonly used specifically to people from the USA.

The United States of America is probably one of the most bashed countries, if not the #1 most bashed. Many people say Americans are ignorant, overweight, rude, etc. First off, yes, some are, that's true... but not everyone from there! Most people who comment in this way about Americans have really never even been to the US nor met an American. Or, someone meets an American that is a prick and then goes off and takes it all out on every American. That sure is fair.

Look, an American, he's from the Americas!
