You boycot american products because you think you are american.

I don't because America is a continent not a single country.

This. I’ve gotten some pushback on it, but I believe the US shouldn’t own the term “American”. I say that as a US American.

They don't "own" anything. In multiple languages another correct way to name them is the equivalent of Unitedstadian, this is true for French and Spanish.

Hi, nice to meet you. Where are you from? America. Oh, like Mexico or Chile?

It's always fun to see their faces :)
