As for the official geography:

Do a Google image search for "American flag" and tell me what you see. If you want images of the Canadian flag or Mexican flag, you're going to have to search for them by those names. Say "American president" and do you think of President Obrador? Would anyone?

Americans in Wikipedia...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans

You'll note, especially, the term "Mexican Americans," which specifies Americans (United States citizens) of Mexican descent.

Anti-Americanism in Wikipedia...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Americanism

...does not refer to Canadians and Mexicans (or one of the other 20 states in North America).

Technical definitions don't always match common usage.
