Well, everybody born in the american continent is technically “american” too, including Central and South America. Is there a specific term in english for these people?

    Yankee (or Yank) is a colloquial term for Americans in English; cognates can be found in other languages. Within the United States, Yankee usually refers to people specifically from New England or the Northern United States, though it has been applied to Americans in general since the 18th century, especially by the British.[26] The earliest recorded use in this context is in a 1784 letter by Horatio Nelson.[26]

    I might start calling Americans Yankees

      If you call people in the Southern US a Yankee it won’t end well for you.
