Exactly this.

Canadians: Canadienses Mexicans: Mexicanos USA Americans: Norteamericanos o estadounidenses. (And yankees in a more informal way) North America is Canada + USA + Mexico though. The teach us that in school. And they are norteamericanos, but it's mostly used for people from the USA.

Don't know about rest of South America, but here in Argentina for sure we call people from USA, norteamericanos most of the time. Also estadounidenses and yankees. Here in Argentina, most media call him the second American Pope, the first North American Pope (Primer Papa norteamericano)

I'm Argentinean. I live in America (the continent). I've never called myself American (or heard some else in my country call themselves "American"). It's an old term not really used by anyone even though we DO live in America and Pope Francis was the first American Pope. And we don't call people from USA american either. We call them norteamericanos (north americans) or Yankees. I do get why the appropiated the term since is part of their country name (United States of America)
