In addition to my sibling posts, I do wonder about “Americans” who are not from the North American continent, e.g. people that live in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam etc. or even Puerto Rico to an extent (or especially Puerto Rico since “Americano” in Spanish usually means from the two continents and the Caribbean).

This demonym is really unfortunate.
