Also "american" isn't a race and the whiteness of many americans is indeed in question due to the large scale race mixing that the continent has witnessed.

It's actually kind of interesting to see how Europeans defined notions of whiteness when racialist thinking was in its infancy during the 17th century, especially in regards to East Asians. Culture and socio-economic stand continue to play roles in how we define concepts like race today.

While that's not necessarily wrong, it doesn't invalidate the sentiment of the post. American national identity isn't based around the same ethno-nationalism which blew up in Europe during the latter half of the 18th and then the 19th centuries. That's not to say there ethno-nationalism doesn't exist in the US though.

The only real losers if the Brexit goes on will be the brothels and whorehouses of London, I bet they won't be as good as they are now, unless the government makes an special inmigration policy and only allowing hot women in. The rest will remain the same, poor people will still be poor.

"White" doesn't really have a concrete meaning, it keeps changing 100 years ago I would be 0% white, 60 years ago I would be half white, today I'm all white Hispanics who pass the paper-bag test are probably next in line to become white

Rutibex posted:yeah it actually is! Adding to the above sentiments, civic nationalism has always had more weight in the US. That there were different European groups settling, for example, would've made ethnic nationalism a hard sell to some, especially considering that not all Europeans were even treated with the same level of respect in American society. That's not to say there weren't racist or xenophobic elements underlying, or indeed disrupting, the general shape American identity took, but it also doesn't mean that we were founded on ethno-nationalism.
