America is the only big country in the world that works the way it does. Almost every country is an ethnic monolith.
I’ll just disagree a tad there. A lot of the Americas are racially diverse, not just the US. Canada, Brazil, Cuba, just to name a few, have similar ratios of racial demographics to the US (maybe Cuba to a lesser degree, you don’t hear of many Asian Cubans).
If we’re talking specifically big ones, Brazil still fits the bill. Brazil is not without its own problems, however.
Yeah that’s accurate, maybe that would have been a better way for me to say it. Turkey is another multi-ethnicity country, and Turkey actually has the same sort of uniquely impactful presence in its area that the US has globally (with the US’s size and and its geography and some lucky accidents also propelling it to a position beyond just what its natural advantages would tend to get it.) Maybe it’s more accurate to say that the US’s multi-ethnicity combined with its other advantages to produce the position it’s currently in today.
