"America" and "USA" have by common usage over a long time period become synonymous. Neither Canadians, Central Americans, nor South Americans refer to themselves, ever, as "Americans". If the suggestion is that goods made in some other country (however high quality) ought to be considered the same as Made in America then we might as well toss out every other definition that doesn't suit the feeling of the moment.
