Technically even if she talks to someone from Mexico, she is talking to an American because Mexico is a part of Central America which last time I checked was part of The Americas unless I misread my history book? The US is a part of the Americas. Not the whole America. South, Central and North together make The Americas. It's not just about The US. I don't understand why when a person refers to the US they call it America, or if talking about US citizens they call them Americans....Why do they still consider south and central a part of The Americas is aparently just the US is American? I know this comment will get down voted and personally I couldn't care less. I'm just stating facts here, and asking some pretty logical questions....

Personally, I agree you with you and I've always hated calling myself an "American" because that could be anywhere from Argentina to Canada, but most of the rest of the world already considers U.S. people "Americans" so I just go with it. Plus, there's not a real good word for person from the U.S. United Statesian? I don't know.
