They were, but if I enter the USA as Dutchman, doesn’t undo almost 40 years of existing in Dutch culture. Or in his case, if people invade (nazis or colonists - take your pick), won’t undo the existence of your own culture.

They are separate ethnicities - heck, I’m not even sure if “the American ethnicity” is really a single ethnicity.
