        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>

        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

          peoples of the New World).</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>
