Yes, I knew he was right. Being born and raised in the USA, I had just never thought of South American residents as “Americans.” But it makes sense given North America and South America. We grew up with “American” being synonymous with resident of the USA.

I’ve tried to make that distinction before, but it’s hard to
think of something else to say.
“American” rolls off the tongue so easily, it’s hard to pass
up. “I’m from the USA” doesn’t roll off quite so well, but I
think it does avoid offending the other North, Central, and
South American people.

“The spirit behind it, from the beginning, has been to be responsive to feedback and to consider adjustments based on that feedback,”
Time to start giving them feedback.
