I’d say it’s more influenced by having common ground with your fellow citizens, and race is one potential factor. It’s why even in America you see racial/ethnic blocs and enclaves form. Hence the mentions of an “Asian voting bloc” or “Hispanic voting bloc”, during elections. Would we be hearing about such things if the US was monoracial? Even among many divisions, it would be one less divisive factor. (yes, I’m aware in the past things were carved up even among whites - such as Italians vs. Irish etc)
