If South and North America are 1 continent then Africa and Eurasia are as well.

Europe and Asia are one continent actually. Europeans, particularly Western Europeans, believed they were superior to Asians and did not want the two combined.

Also North and South America are separated by two different plates. They aren't even connected. The Panana Canal seperate the two. So the use of one in Spanish and Portugese has zero logic.

Actually Afro-Eurasia or or Eurafrasia also exists , as I said.... there's a lot of different continental models, and are all accepted.



physical geography is not the only factor in this, there are other notions that influence the way we see continents. there is a strong historical and cultural component that makes it hard for us to see Africa, Asia and Europe as a whole, too

BUT that historical and cultural component might be the same reason because you can't see North & South America as a whole! in both cases, the only right answer is "it depends" lol, depending on where you were born, you could have learned that there are from 3 to 7 continents! A HOT MESS.

Hmm, it's more complicated than that

Being gay might not be illegal in some countries and a few even allow gay marriage or partnerships but there's still so much homophobia in Latin American countries. I heard they keep killing transgender women in El Salvador and in general coming from one of these of countries I can tell you society can be pretty hostile to the idea outside bigger cities. Even in the US, stuff keeps happening.

We're much better than the Arab World, Africa and Asia though.
