 ::::The most common and widespread usage (whether it's on Wikipedia or elsewhere) is that an American denotes someone from the United States.  It may not be politically correct, I agree, but that's usually how it works.  For more info, there's American (word).  Therefore, I highly discourage including Canadians on this list; perhaps a new list for Asian Canadian writers can be created?   con 18:04"
