Oh my sweet summer child, how do you think you got yourselves to be called "Americans".

This is what your country has done since day one.

90% of people in the US also would never consider renaming it

It's probably the other way around and much lower than you think.

Of course you're being downvoted, but you're right. Another (small) example. California being just "California" (as if it were the one and only), when it should be "North California" or "Alta California" (while Mexico has the "South California" or "Baja California").
