I'm talking about America the country right now and not the continent.

She is speaking strictly in regards to the United States of America, and they're called Americans whereas people from South America are often referred to either by their place of birth (i.e. Venezuelans) or as Latino/a's. How odd if you actually think about it, everyone from the America's should be called (North/South) American.

Though unlike South America, in the States someone isn't a Texan(dunno?), there actually are big differences between the borders of North and South America, aside from their racial/cultural/ethnic components.
