The name was probably adopted by George Washington in order honor the great navigator Americus Vespucian because he was the first one to Navigate around the continent. But it is 2 different things. Latin americans is one thing, American (born in USA) is another, both are correct to say. I refer to myself as South American and I still think it sounds cool, so it is nothing to be ashamed of.

Who cares what the yanks or anyone else call themselves. Live and let live.
If anything I'd point at Netherlands, (North/South) Holland and the Dutch to clear up that whole confusion.
What I do like the donut-dunkers to do, however, is get on the metric train. Everybody else is doing it. Clearly your patriotic protest, as sensible that seems, is just causing confusion.
Behold; American Chopper vs. The Metric System;
