It's all relative. People from different parts of the world call
us all Yankees. If you live in the U.S., Yankees are only people
from the North. If you live in the North Yankees are a specific
class of people descended from old English settlers. I live in
Boston, and by my own perspective I am NOT a Yankee, but to
people from other places I AM a Yankee. To muddy the waters
further, "Yankee" was a Dutch insult for English settlers, but
it is now a term of pride for some people (and an different
insult to others). <br>
<br>
How about "Northern West-Hemispherians"?<br>

<div>U.S.A. will do. "America" could be problematic, since it
can be criticized as a cultural appropriation of a geographic
term which describes two continents (and perhaps all the
peoples of the New World).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>PS: Bit of a pet peeve of mine: in Spanish we can call
people from the USA "estadounidenses", which would literally
translate to "Unitedstatesians". I find "estadounidense"
quite proper and sufficiently descriptive. However, many of us
still fall into the pitfall of describing, particularly
Anglophone "Unitedstatesians", as "Americanos". (On a side
note, a friend, Tim Unwin, is actually encouraging everyone to
call the people of the USA "USAns" (pronounced you-ess-ns)).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The only nation that would have standing to object the
"estadounidense" demonym is Mexico, since the official name of
that republic is United States of Mexico. But I don't think
Mexicans would like to be called "estadounidenses" (especially
in the Trump age!). This discussion is not irrelevant since
-by definition- language defines everything (pun intended).
Take for example the historic election of Francis as Pope (and
note that I'm not religious person). Everybody and the media
celebrated him as the first "Latin American" Pope. But
Francis is much more than that: He is the First Pope from the
New World; the first non-European Pope; the First AMERICAN
Pope; period!!</div>
