then you need to actually be American

That's actually interesting because in the US we actually accept people as American no matter what our race or ethnicity is.

I think I wasn't clear enough, I was talking about the perception from the immigrant's end of things.

Right but I think the fact that Americans perceive immigrants as American also influences the immigrants. Chicken and egg scenario or a positive feedback loop. Other countries seem to have a negative feedback loop. Japan is racist as fuck but their culture also doesn't give a shit about how that looks. In Europe people don't assimilate but they are stuck in the performatively woke hysteria so they elevate extremist aspects of the minority culture.
