Well, I'm in the US. In my view, what makes it the US is not particular ethnicities, it's particular ideals. The US isn't "X% white, Y% black, Z% hispanic, W% oriental"; it's the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. If you hold to those ideals, you belong, no matter what your ethnicity or skin color or language of origin.
(Yeah, I know, the US fails to live up to the ideals as well as it should. I'm painfully aware. Still, the attempt produces a culture that is different from not making that attempt, and I like the result.)
