Help answer this question below.

America.- Do you think that it is fair that the United States has individualized the term "America" to refer to themselves? America is a continent composed of dozens of countries. Why do people fall to the brainwashing of the egocentric US?

    In english the continent is called Americas. But in spanish, the continent is called América.
    So, for us spanish speaking people it feels pretty weird when they use the word America to refer to the USA, it feels like they are leaving out all the other countries..
