It has nothing to do with being politically correct. Quite the contrary but has everything to do with pride. North and South America contain Americans. Just like people designate those from the south in the Untied States as Southerners and those from the northest as Northerners. Nothing wrong with nor is there anything politically correct about it.

Your they should rename their country doesn’t fly. They live on an American continent so they are Americans as well.
