A “nation” is really an ethnostate

According to various dictionaries "nation" is nacion (old French) birth, descendants, relatives, from Latin nationem, natio, breed, stock, race of people, tribe, from PIE root *gene, referring to procreation, familial and tribal groups.   

The Founders of the U. S. seemed to have assumed that the America would be a nation of English immigrants, or at least Northern Europeans; apparently they instinctively knew that was the most natural way to assimilate into a new nation. And so America was for a time a real “nation” (at the expense of the Native American “Indians”). But over time due to plain ignorance, and later due to ideological mumbo jumbo, as well as various diverse racial wills to power, the U. S. became a multicultural, multi-ethnic, multi-racial empire, and no-longer a "nation."

America became instead a motley polyglot empire of competing ethnic groups, each with their own genetic traits, their own cultural behavior, and their own agendas. The Establishment encouraged this motley polyglot population and made strong attempts to remove the instincts of ethnic identity, without much success, as social disruptions from ethnic conflicts have increased. 

 

The Constitutional separation of powers and states was mainly meant to keep one power from imperially ruling everyone else, as the English kings did, who the Founder's escaped from. Wouldn't it have been prescient of the Founders if they had foreseen that the states could become ethnostates as regions to calm the inevitable future battles between naturally competing ethnic groups, as the result of stupid immigration policies? 

That can still be done. Our federalism could protect an ethnopluralism of ethnostates from marauding imperialists and supremacists. We can save the US from the fate of all empires by working within the system to transform it, as mentioned here yesterday.
