América is one continent subdivided into North, Central and South. That’s our geography in Latinoamérica.

If America is one continent then so are Europe, Asia and Africa.

Wouldn’t Quebec be Latin America?

No?
The „one america“ is more of a spanish thing, here in Brazil we learn that they are two continents (north and south america). Central america is the only subcontinent.
Also we don’t really make specific exclusions in latin america (ie. Suriname and Jamaica), when we say Latin America we usually just mean everything besides the US and Canada.

Should have Quebec separated as French America, and Greenland as Danish America.

There are 7 continents – North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Antarctica.
“America” is two continents, North and South. Central America is a subcontinent of North America.

I guess Europeans used to just see America as single continent, and until a certain time North/South America started to be considered two continents in certain countries?

*sigh*
First off, I can hear the Quebecois screaming from all the way in Vancouver that you put them in “Anglo-America”
The official English demonym for someone from the United States is “American”. If you say American to any native English speaker, even in the UK or Australia, they will interpret that as “someone from the U.S.”
In Spanish and Portuguese, the Demonym more directly translates to “United Statesian”. So to them, “American” means “Someone from the Americas”
But try to go up to the Average Canadian and convince them that they are an “American” and tell me how that goes.

Horrible colour choices

– Spain yellow
– Portugal green
– Netherlands orange
Red for the Anglos is ok

When I was a kid we were taught that Mexico was part of Central & the Caribbean was its own thing. This one of those there are 8, not 9 planets anymore types of things?

It’s true

I have been getting screamed at by some very opinionated South Americans about how I’m a stupid fucking American for even suggesting that north and South America are the standard that is recognized by most of the world. Apparently my schools are idiots and I’m the absolute worst for suggesting it. When I mention I’m Canadian I’m told it’s the same thing so now I’m just going to start picking random South American countries and assigning them to anyone from down south when they make me mad since I guess generalizing is okay now
