They should be called United Statesians in English. I know États-Uniens is the official name in French.

What is it in other langages? How can we promote such use?

Why am I asking? The US administration is currently a disgrace on the world stage, and I am thinking how it unjustly hurts people from the rest of the American continent.

    There’s literally no reason to. Colloquially, nobody thinks American refers to both continents, plus the other countries already have something else to call themselves to differentiate.

        Don’t fix things that aren’t broken. There are plenty of broken things to actually work on instead.
