The Americas consists of North America and the South American states.
South Americans states have different countries and non of them are call America. North America consists of United States of America and Canada.
Since the USA are the only country with America, they can call themselves americans.
Thats my interpretation anyways.

" The standard way to refer to a citizen of the United States is as an American. Though United States is the formal adjective, American and U.S. are the most common adjectives used to refer to the country ("American values," "U.S. forces"). American is rarely used in English to refer to people not connected to the United States. "
