If you are still looking for American Culture then you must be a snob.
The detective story was a form created by Edgar Allan Poe (who left quite a body of other literary works as well).
Jazz, Blues, Country & Western, Zydecco, Conjunto, Rock and Roll music not good enough for you?
Our scientific advancements, inventive nature, and the industries that sprang up not enough? While the motion picture camera was not invented in America, it was perfected here (doesn’t do much good if the film is going to flap around as it goes past the shutter). Synched sound was added here. And there were a number of creative movements in film.
Comic books, Comic strips.
Nope, too low brow for your tastes. No “American culture”. What a laugh.

Why did he/she/it come to America then?

If they miss their own “culture” jets are leaving from an airport near them right now!
