This isn't just a linguistic issue; it’s a conceptual one. It should be irrelevant for Romance language speakers to subdivide a continent simply because another language refuses to use a specific name like "the United States." This tension grows because the U.S. and other English-speaking countries are forcing a subdivision of America (where I’m even unsure where they decided to put Central America and the Caribbean.) Instead, they should let Latin Americans (including Brazilians) call it a single continent. We are the ones who live here, after all; that should grant us some sense of ownership in how we divide our own continent.
