Why might a Venezuelan person be offended when I call the USA 'America'?

I am trying to understand what the word 'American' infers. As someone who lives far, far away on a completely different continent I was always under the impression that 'America' was synonymous with the USA and 'American' was synonymous with anyone who's a Citizen of the United States of America.
But this guy said mid conversation about something: America? Huh? Where in the "Americas"?? Ohhh... you mean the US. Got ya." *rolls eyes*
Am I missing something here?
