Total count of people is wrong

It says 331.4 million but the census contains non citizens as per US law the census has to contain all non citizens so it should be changed to 320.5 million

I think we should add a picture of some Americans in the info box

for example how the page for "human" or any other species, or "woman" or "child" has a picture of what they look like Finnigami (talk) 02:57, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted edit of "(sometimes referred to as US Americans)"

I don't understand why this was removed with just a no thank you and nothing else to substantiate why this is not a valid addition. We have American which includes:

American, something of, from, or related to the Americas, also known as "America"
- Indigenous peoples of the Americas

US American is the common way that this is disambiguated in international contexts. It is sometimes even expected in contexts where a person is speaking with other people from the Americas who may take offense to "American" being used to only refer to US Americans. It should be included on this page. AndrewTavis (talk) 11:24, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
