This is ironic on several levels. You've managed to create *layers* of irony, and it's gorgeous.
If you are criticizing United States culture, "North American people" includes Canada too which is a different country. Americans name themselves Americans because it's the last word in the name of their country. It's not arrogance, it's simply easier than "United States of America-ian.
The real irony here is that your generalization, which is true to an extent, implies a complete cultural homogeneity which is hilariously wrooong, and affected by somewhat of a double standard with statements like yours. The ignorance goes in multiple directions. It's probably hollywood's fault for exporting such shit.
