>American

Means someone from the *United States of America.* There is no other name for use - are we "United Statesians?"

*People's Republic of China* aren't called the "People's Republic of Chinans" - they're called "Chinese." Congo are called Congolese, even citizens of Estados Unidos Mexicanos (United Mexican States) are just called "Mexicans."

You can argue that they're "Americans," but it's just as inaccurate to lump Indians, Russians, and Japanese together by calling them all "Asians." South, mainland/Eurasian, and East Asian are much more accurate without muddying the waters (sure, we'll say it's "mud") too much.
