Is "American" an Ethnicity?

As July 4th, American Independence day approaches, many ask if there is such a thing as the American nation or ethnicity, as global vernacular often tends to treat Americans as a single homogeneous ethnic and cultural bloc, which couldn't be further from the truth.

Today we will be defining just what an ethnicity is, how they form, how ethnicity is still very much a relevant concept in the United States and how common vernacular shapes the way we view different groups, be it aware or subconsciously. We'll also be discussing some of the history of migration to the US and how they have evolved based on different cultures, languages and geography. Thanks for watching!
