Africa, Asia, and South America

So we are not counting North-America, where the ICE raids continue then?

America is one continent.
Third grade was a tricky year for all of us
Depends on which third grade. Some countries learn about America as one continent in e.g. a six-continent model. Which I think is silly given the obvious first continental divide to go would be the Eurasian one that only exists for historical reasons.

There are either four, five, six, or seven continents in the world, depending on who you ask.

America makes sense for historical reasons as well. After all it is a massive settlers colony of different European nations. The Spanish influence very much connects both continents, if you want to do that.

This is the correct model. America developed very similarly, unlike parts of Eurasia which is why Europe and Asia are definitely culturally distinct, but America isn‘t. At least not for a lot of us.

Sorry „north“ Americans, but you‘re not that different from Argentinians to us.

Developed very similarly? On what time scale? Inuit, Salish, Cherokee, Aztec, Inca, and Rapa Nui are all pretty distinct. Post-colonialism there’s lots of differences between French, English, Spanish, and Portugese influence. And topographically the North Andes are a pretty solid border (though in many ways it makes more sense to extend out to the coast).
