How is 50 separate accents homogeneous?

You're trying to spread a county's worth of accents across a country!

In addition to what everyone else said, people from Canada call themselves Canadians. People from the US call themselves Americans. People from Mexico call themselves Mexican (or the Spanish equivalent). Heck, Puerto Rico is a US territory and people from there call themselves Puerto Ricans.

If you want to ignore what people call themselves and label them much more generically, you certainly can, but it's also a stance i wouldn't expect from some people.

I mean this all stems from me making a joke about how American accents are less varied, of course in this instance I'm going to be overly generic if I feel the resulting joke is better!

Although it would really help if we had a separate term for 'citizens of the USA', instead of reusing the name for those who live on the continent
