So it's kinda weird...,
yeah, but British are born in the U.K, someone from England is british, someone from Scotland is british too. The "americans" thing is weird because it refers a country not a continet, but it should be the continent America and people who live there, not only one country.
I think they have this problem because of the country name they have: United States of America, so what should we call them? "Unted standese americanese" people?, naa... we better call them just "americans".

If that is your criteria, why bother with any national distinctions? All people from Europe are Europeans. Hell, we might as well go for the big Kahuna and call everybody on earth Americans and Eurasians.
Oh, and people from Scotland are Scottish.
Edit:
I guess we would still have Australians, New Zealanders and Polynesians...
