I assumed your use of the word “nation” was in the old fashioned sense. That is that a nation is a groupe of genetically similar people, not a political boundary on a map. In that sense, americans are not a nation and our culture is not a culture. It is a hodgepodge of non-culture.
“It is a hodgepodge of non-culture’.
And that is one of the reasons we are a divided nation. A multi-enthic hodgepodge.

No. The United Stated is a nation, perhaps the 1st nation, to be formed upon principles instead of heredity or boundary, and who's citizens are not restricted by petty racial, genetic or ancestral similarities.
All cultures trace the features and components of their culture to other sources. The American Culture is no different in this respect. One can also argue that the American Culture is the most influential culture in the world right now and has been for several years. No culture? I don't think so. The influence of American Culture is everywhere.
If you want to adhere to the concept that nations can only exist among people who are genetically coupled and who's ancestry never cross some artificial boundary, be my guest. I think you're wrong.
