I know this is a shitpost, but I need to say it anyways: The USA is not “America”. America is everything west of Europe and east of Asia. All the Americas: north, central, and south.
Well… Ackchuyually, it’s not “China”, it’s “People’s Republic of China”
“China” can refer to various terriorial claims made by various Chiness dynasties/governments throught history, and doesn’t precisely describe the location or period of time. Whereas “People’s Republic of China” is the accurate term to describe the current geo-political situation of the country.

(ya know what, every time a westerner mentions “China” I’m gonna say that just for the lols)
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.
America is the name used to reference the United States
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.
Do you expect British people to tell you that they’re from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and get cross when they don’t as well?
Five continents
We have been taught in school (way back in the '60s in Europe) that there are five continents, Africa, America, Asia, Australia, and Europe, for instance symbolized in the five rings of the Olympic Games.
Six continents
However, there is no standard definition for the number of continents. In Europe, many students are taught about six continents, in which North and South America is combined to form a single America.
These six continents are Africa, America, Antarctica, Asia, Australia/Oceania, and Europe.
The people using the language don’t give a shit if you’re mad that U.S. arrogance is the reason the U.S. is referred to as America. Language is to be used to send a message, not dance around 16 topics hoping you can finally manage to vomit out whatever it is you’re trying to say.
You gave enough of a shit to bitch and moan in the first place, so which is it? Do you recognize that your contribution to the topic is worthless, or do you think you’re somehow above it all - a shining example of a human we should all strive to be like?
Fair warning, I am going to record myself laughing at you if you point to the second perspective. Like, GUHAHAHA fucking Ganondorf laughing.

It’s the only country that has “America” in the name so it’s not really that dumb.

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.
God you’re insufferable
Found a butt hurt USian 😂😂😂
The United States of Mexico would like a word.
We’re considering changing it to simply Mexico. It’s been talked about.
Wait that didn’t go through yet? I thought that name change went through years ago
Until you guys do, it seems fucked up for the USA to just take US. German uses US-Amerikaner, which is at least clear.
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
Which word gave you trouble?
Which continent is America? I only know of Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.
Very clever. It’s the land mass, just like Eurasia.
So anyone who calls themselves a European is also wrong. That’s what I see you saying here.
Eurasia is on one continental plate, the Americas are on 2-3 (depending on how you want to count the Caribbean iirc)
Definitions of continent vary and are often fairly subjective but I’ve always considered that a pretty objective standard.

That’s what they teach you in the USA, eh?
Speaking of not being taught things…

Ahh, you haven’t learned anything since the 60’s. Your idiotic ramblings are starting to make sense…
Can you actually read?
Ironic.

Guess what, I don’t give a shit what you think either.

Funnily enough, that must have been the first thing your parents thought when you were born.
It seems like you think you’re funny… ??
Crickets
I can really sense how little of a shit you give.
You’re welcome.
