Comes down to the culture and ideology of the country.

Is the culture thinking being a X is race based or is it based on a way of life, or both?

At least back in the 80s and 90s, my US education and history books say that America is the melting pot of the world, and ideally not race based, but based on the idea of personal and religious freedom. USA as we know now began as a country of immigrants - so by definition, yes, USA still stands regardless of race and ethnicity.

Whereas, the older countries having a more homogeneous race, ethnicity, and culture, that question is a lot fuzzier.
