Yes. And as you can see from your first link, there are South Americans, Central Americans (and also North Americans). All are technically "Americans". People from the US who travel widely are often taught to be sensitive to these various populations of Americans, and not hubristically suggest that only citizens of the US are Americans. So it causes some discomfort to have to identify myself that way on an official form. It feels disrespectful.
