    my opinion is that generally everyone who is a natural born citizen raised in american culture, and has no accent is american. if he moved there in his adulthood from somewhere else and retains a accent he still might be american though depends also on the person how fast he adapts and if he is american citizen. but im not american, and cannot speak for americans.

    I like thinking big. If you're going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big. Donald Trump

    It seems pretty over the top. There's prejudice in America but 99% of the time it's way more subtle. I've never seen anything like this happen.

    Any one out there
    would you allow some annoying mf to come in your home & jerk on your household while you loosing huge amounts of money on freebees ? America is continent of extreme weather compared to other places. Some people were successful in making their home. If you are adventurous follow them else move to tropical paradise.

    Practically anybody. It all depends on your definition of American since it has become a multicultural and multiracial society.

It wasn't until the civil rights movement of the 1960's onwards that changed the American mindset to be more multicultural and liberal in nature. Hence, we are more multicultural now compared to more mainstream, pre-1960's conservative United States.
    You think non-NW European immigration to the US only occurred from the 1960s?...

    Yes, anyone can pass as American which is why when you really think about it Americans don't exist.
