Geography doesn't matter when talking about these things

Europe was created in a sense with the fall of the Roman Empire, when a pan-Mediterranean empire no longer became a thing, when Rome and Paris became "closer" in terms of culture than Rome and Carthage

The seven-continent model is usually taught in China, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, parts of Western Europe and most English-speaking countries, including Australia[22] and the UK.[23]

The six-continent combined-Eurasia model is mostly used in Russia, Eastern Europe, and Japan.[citation needed]

The six-continent combined-America model is used in France and its former colonies, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Romania,[citation needed] Latin America,[24] and Greece.[14]

A five-continent model is obtained from this model by excluding Antarctica as uninhabited. This is used, for example in the United Nations[25] and in the Olympic Charter.[26]

extremely odd case

the whole argument for Europe and Asia being one continent only came into vogue after the discovery of plates (the reason it's favored in Russia and Japan has older, political roots), which for obvious reasons predated the discovery of plate tectonics

There's a reason most people barely include MExico in "North America"- because it has 0 utility to speak in pure geographical terms.

The distinction between Europe/Asia and North/South America is at least partly predicated on culture.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3518504&forum_id=2#32565582)

different plates, different cultures joined by a narrow strip of land.
