Dont be fooled by this...

The United States is the home of Americans stuff.

The United States should not be reffered to as " America"

And United States Citizens should not be reffered to as Americans.

Americans are...

Canadians.
Mexicans.
and
the

South and Centeral American Nations.

So what should I call them? Yanks or North Americans?

US "Americans" are labeled as such due to the country's name, it's not a reference to the continent. This is why Canadians and Mexicans aren't referred to as "Americans." If you are talking solely about the continent, then you can say these nations are American by location.
