[quote=Anonymous]I think there are many different ethnic groups that are distinctively American. I was just reading something about the "Mardi Gras Indians" in NOLO, definitely a cultural practice that is unique to this country, and associated with a specific ethnic group. Mormons in Utah have ethnic/cultural practices and shared history that is unique to this country. I don't think there is one universal American ethnicity, but as a member of a family whose ancestors have been here for hundreds of years (the most recent "foreign country" to which anyone, on any branch of my family can trace ancestry is the Republic of Texas), who can trace our ancestry to the slave trade, and the Manhattan Dutch, and the settlers at Jamestown and on the Mayflower, I think our ethnicity is unique to America, even if we're one of many American ethnicities.[/quote]
