I'd say it's the fact that Americanism isn't defined by any specific ethnic background. Which is why shared values and culture are more important here than anywhere. This is an experiment that could easily break apart if we embrace typical tribal allegiances rather than our shared values.

I like the sound of it. What do you see as our shared values?

Lenient bankruptcy laws. People can take risks without destroying their lives permanently, leading to second chances and more innovation.

Places like this, with the ability to speak freely without free of prosecution. Ability to search the media (written, television, internet) to find two sides of a story and be able to form an opinion from those sources. Ability to peacefully protest on whatever issue you disagree with. Blending of cultures that brings us closer to other countries that allow us to eliminate preconceived stereotypes of one another.

What made America great was an extreme and unreplicable set of circumstances that by serious luck combined the most beautiful human cultural movement with an unprecedented clean slate abundant in resources and natural beauty. Once upon a time people in the world wanted to be together and forget about divisions and identity. Unfortunately that time is over. The most incredible achievement in human history is now a museum of grotesque obesity, rampant entitlement and militant idenitarianism. Sad.
