Let me guess, you're from a country in South America or Mexico/Canada that can't grasp that when someone says American it is often a reference to the United States of America because USA is the only country on either continent to have America in the title? Therefore, the point of this article is to list the top places in the USA NOT to visit. Also, we say Europeans, Africans or Asians to refer to people from those continents. We say North American or South American to refer to citizens of those respective countries. American = citizens of the United States. All Americans are North American, not all North Americans are American.

Or do you think the USA is a continent?

What is your point?!?!
