Holup being from Spanish America I promise you Americano does in fact mean American, despite all complaints.
Comment on How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?

Que chucha, acá siempre usamos estadounidense, norte americano, o derechamente gringo. Jamás he escuchado a nadie decir americano para referirse específicamente a los de EEUU.
Excepto la ropa americana, pero ese es otro contexto cultural que no tiene anda que ver con la discusión.

I have in Mexico. Strangely “estadounidense” is not something a Mexican would call themselves.

What are you talking about, all my life it’s been “estadounidense”. Americano was always politically charged and used by those promoting globalization.

Okay, but most people in the US wouldn’t call themselves Americano.
