If its true that People of the USA are "USian" (never heard of the term
before), then why is it that every major televised speech I have heard from
various President's of the USA, usually begins with the phrase :-

"MY FELLOW AMERICANS"

Also a large proportion of the citizens of the USA portray themselves as
"AFRICAN AMERICANS".

Methinks that perhaps Education like Charity, should begin AT HOME.

My two cents worth
