From Spain here, when we want to speak about USA people we use the term “yankee” or “gringo” rather than “american” cause our americans arent from USA, that terms are correct or mean other things?

Sounds like that fight was lost 100 years ago.
Not really. Most americans aren’t native english speakers, and still consider themselves americans. They don’t roll over and let the US coopt that term.
