    Take this with a grain of salt bc small sample size, but I’ve also heard from South or Latin Americans that simply saying “American” = USA. It’s just that rest, I don’t know why.

    In English, I assume? Because in Spanish, they would usually use “Estadounidense” (https://dle.rae.es/estadounidense)

      I did strongly wonder if that is the reason why, but ultimately can only guess or relate from someone who actually knows:-).
