American = estadounidense

Un norteamericano también podría ser un canadiense.

@Shishir. En Cuba "norteamericano" significa "estadunidense". Tuve que explicárselo a alguien que me preguntó si era "norteamericano". Respondí: Sí, pero más precisamente canadiense.

Norteamericano es tanto un cubano como un useño / estadounidense.
