Well, everybody born in the american continent is technically “american” too, including Central and South America. Is there a specific term in english for these people?

They’re not; they were using that as an example. They’re actually officially called the Federative Republic of Brazil (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil?wprov=sfla1).
Edit: They used to be, though. See below comments.
Yes, we were.

Huh… I stand corrected.
Sorry about that. 👍
No problem bro, most people here don’t know that because it lasted for about 4 days or so. Our first president liked our flag and national anthem from the imperial era, so he said it was bullshit to change them. That’s why this “Republic of the United States of Brazil” didn’t catch on (thankfully), and got forgotten.
Appreciate the education. 👍
