When you come back over the border from Canada to the U.S., they won’t let you in if you answer “American” for citizenship.

This is an excellent point. If you are from Mexico, and in fact if you still live in Mexico, you are American.
You're Central American, but it still counts.
If you're from or born and still living in Bolivia, you are American. You're South American, but it still qualifies as "American."
If you're from/born and still in Canada, you are also American. North American. Just like US citizens are North American.
People in the USA tend to be pretty elitist when it comes to that. They think they are the ONLY America that matters, and therefore everyone else from any other part of America aren't American. But they are.
