Going by the true definition of the word a continent shouldn't be dictated by humans, but by facts, separating America into North and South is beyond stupid, same as Afro-Eurasia, this is a tool used to separate and segregate mankind into thinking that people that live in other "continents" are different from them.
News flash: Americans = all citizens born in the continent of America.
Also we are all citizens of this planet so the sooner you stop thinking you are superior to everyone else and deserve special threatment the better.

When did I ever say I was superior to anyone? When did I ask for any special treatment? There really isn't any reason to get personal.
