Calling yourself Americans, after the entire dual continent
This is one (small) reason why many USAians will tell you their state if you ask where they’re from.
It is very much state pride as well, and force of habit; most Americans don’t travel out of country much (for a few reasons) so we don’t often have to tell people where we’re from who don’t already have a good grasp of American geography.
Also, frankly, people can usually tell we’re American before we tell them, for better or worse. Might as well give you a bit more specificity.
