In order to arrive at this conclusion, Wright has to navigate around a huge factual obstacle: the historic American nation was overwhelmingly homogenous, being of British heritage, English speaking (and Protestant).

Vdare always says that the "Historic American nation" was white-only...but now they admitted 8t was only a particular class of whites. Remember this when they talk about the "west" because they always ignore it when their narrative requires it.

I do recall when Boston tried to legally define ‘white’ people.
It involved European purity.
Except there was a certain cachet to being related to Pocahontas. So at the time, if you were purely of European heritage, and about 1/6th Iriquois, you were ‘white.’
It’s just made-up shit, really.

Which Native American nation was that? None of them were exactly white, let alone WASPs. Also your country does have a black history.

PC: “Being of British heritage, English speaking and Protestant. If you don’t fit that to a T, you’re no American! ’Cause I say so!!”

So you thinks African Americans, who share your religion and your anguage and whose culture have been heavily influenced by Europe, aren’t part of your nation, along with the Catholics, who are Christian too and which was the font from which Protestantism sprung, Whites of non-English stock, even though Germans emigrated to Colonial British America to the point it was envisioned to make German an official language, that Dutch founded New York - Martin van Buren is the sole POTUS to not spoke English as a mother tongue - and that French Huguenots helped British America to triumph over French America; moreover, those so-called Five Civilized Tribes, who had utterly joined what their Southern neighbours called “Western civilization” (Christianity, plantation economy and “White” customs) were themselves victims of the Trail of Tears.

So, using your restrictive criteria, you would exclude most of “Historical America”, including Founding Fathers.
