Kudos for you to bite of such a contentious issue as nationalism and language and identity. It's complicated. America might be lucky in that English is the defacto world language and America has done a better job absorbing other cultures than many European countries.
Thank you for your comments, Paco. Diifferent countries have different track records of being able to successfully assimilate peoples. It would be an interesting book to write about this. Economic growth can certainly account for a lot.
