Hey, guys, Canadians are Americans too. It's North America, not American and Canada. Mexicans are Americans too, just Central Americans. So are Brazillians and Chileans, but they're South Americans. If you go to Brazil and someone asks where you're from, you say "America," you'll get the sh|t beat out of you. I knew a Brazillian woman for a few months while she was interning up here and she said that it's so insulting and rude to say something like that and it's very common to get physically assaulted for saying something as such.
So... just be careful.

The USA isn't the only country in the western hemisphere, ya know.
