What if instead of the others being pompous douchers, some people are too self-centred (or nationalists, or imperialists ?) to realize that others may not understand or appreciate how some country-men are monopolizing the demonym of their continent. It seems South Africans are succeeding in not doing that just fine.
Yep that all sounds super douchey. 99% of people who know the United States and the American continents, will know exactly where you are talking about if you say America. Sorry that displeased you in all your eccentricities and fancy words, but thems the breaks.
