Anyone born or naturalized here.<p>I don&#x27;t really understand the question.<p>America has historically prided itself on being a nation of immigrants. We have citizens whose ethnic origins are all over the world. Being an American has nothing to do with your genotype or religion or what gender you&#x27;re attracted to or any other personal characteristics that could be interpreted as &quot;diversity&quot; and everything to do with your birth certificate or naturalization papers and your passport.<p>Why should diversity make any difference in &quot;who is American&quot;?

Anyone who has a US passport and&#x2F;or born in US?<p>Or are you referring to America the continent?
