No, people form Brazil are Brazilians, and people form Mexico are mexicans. Is english your native toungue, I'm serious, it's just it sems like you have a different perception of certain adjectives describing location or nationality.
People from Europe are European {you stated that in your post}. Following the same rules of the english language, people from the Americas are American.
I'm an Irish European. You {I think} are an American US citizen. You are as much an American as people from Mexico, or Cuba, or Canada. And the only reason I bring this up is a lot of people get pissed off when they're told "You're not American" even though they're from the Americas. US citizens kinda stole the word for describing someone from those 2 contenants.
