Yes it was. The system of governance (The Constitution) and principles that guided policy came from white men. The technological innovations that made this country great came from white men. The uninhabited land was colonized and made fruitful by white people. Resources were extracted, crops were cultivated, and they were all made available to the markets. The contributions of other races to America are marginal. America is great because if white men. We should respect and honor this fact.

People don't fucking understand this for some reason. Who administers this county? Who keeps it on the rails? White dudes.
I'm not talking about politicians. I'm talking about government workers. I do it because it represents something I believe in. I sure as shit don't do it for the money.

Is Nigeria a Nigerian man's country? Is China a Chinese man's country? Similarly, America is an American man's country. Are you ethnically American? By American I mean a White man of Western European ancestry who is the descendants those who settled in America to form the United States of America.

Similarly, other White Western European ethnicities are Canadian, Australian, New Zealander, White South African and Afrikaner.

Interestingly, in census data people most likely to choose 'American' as their ethnicity are those found in the Border and Middle South where people of British Protestant stock descended from colonial settlers predominate. Whites in other areas often identify as Italian, German, Irish, etc., and are of immigrant stock that arrived within the last 160 years or so.

No, the largest demographic in the US at independence through to this day is German. English is third.
