Couldn't the same be said about Americans calling them Europeans? Heck, even within Italy alone there is a lot of variation.

It is natural that you stereotype, ESPECIALLY in a sarcastic instance like yurop

    You mean how you just called people from the United States Americans? Maybe you forgot about Central and South America? There are 35 countries on this side of the pond. Also, there is a LOT of variety in the US. We have over fifty dialects and arguably more. We have people that are native German speakers (with several unique dialects and daughter languages, Latinos that are native Spanish speakers (along with many dialects and daughter languages from many countries as well), Native Americans with MANY cultural and linguistic differences from Alaska to South America.

    Are you stupid? How am I supposed to call people from the US?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans

    Are there some other magic definitions?

    Yep, I see name calling instead of intellectual discourse is your go to retort. Thanks for the enlightened conversation.

    The fact that you attacked my argument because I used the (correct) word Americans already indicates you are not interested at all in any conversation. So yeah, I don't want to have one either with someone in such bad faith

    I promise you no one from outside of the USA refers to themselves as American, without any other qualifiers. Referring to indigenous groups is also a disingenuous argument- in my experience if you ask one they are likely to self identify as the name of their specific tribe.
