This is a lot of fun but it's better not to get technical on it and just say any differences are inconsequential and that Washington controls Canada anyway and it's basically the 51st state, yes all the states (it's important to call them this) of Canada are about equal to one American state and yes I have heard of North Dakota.

probably the unironic coolest thing we have going for us was the unintended effect of birthright citizenship in the 14th Amendment and intended effect of replacing the obviously mega-racist National Origins Formula with the Hart–Celler Act. the chuds would never let either happen today.

virtually every other country is a jarringly bland ethnostate in comparison to any american city

this may be true. Turks can’t even handle Syrians that share the same religion and generally look the same. Kurds either

what a dumb thing to type. the US has significantly more and larger groups of a wide array of people. the UK and Spain are among the least homogenous nations in Europe, and they are still 82% and 84% white. the US has vastly more ethnic diversity, and compared to Japan, Korea, and Scandinavia? Complete ownage.

America is so diverse because of all the genocide. Other countries are usually populated by the original inhabitants.

no, it’s because of birthright citizenship and LBJ-era immigration laws. Australia is much whiter than the US, for instance, because they did the genocide + apartheid without the other two things.

"White alone, percent 75.8%"

Now the Australian census doesn't collect useful race data but this study says 76% have a European background.

slavery explains the ~15-20% black population we’ve had since basically forever. the populations of almost every other non-white ethnic group took off only after the 1965 change to immigration law.
