The United States is a rich compilation of diverse cultures and ethnicities; a derivative of

historical migrations to the US; each with their own unique identifying stereotypes such as color,

practice, and beliefs. Symbolic Ethnicity is the prejudice labeling segregating races by

specifically recognizing, categorizing, and scrutinizing traits indicating the presence of a

generalized culture. In addition to many migrating from different geographical locations,

identifying markers were developed to distinguish races, thus, evolving into what has become

symbolic racism. Cultures have many different identifying characteristics, some observable, yet,

many unforeseen; however, the simplicity of recognizing symbolic ethics can be seen within the

multitude of individual “colors.” Some identifying makers, in addition to color, according to

Schaefer our largest racial contributors/minorities within the jurisdiction United States are

African Americans, Native Americans, and Asian Americans (Schaefer, 2011, pp. 257-266).

My family dynamics has a rich culture; however, we also tend to find some American

attributes within our developing characteristics. In additional to natively being (you’re heritage

here); cultural distinctions such as (place one of your heritage’s practices here), American

characteristics can also be found within my cultural dynamics. Musical trends, clothing

combinations and styles, as well as indulging in American movies have been effectively

intertwined into our “personal” culture.

The definition of American culture is the simplicity of diversity acceptance. American

Culture has become the pinnacle model of fostering and developing the evolution of human

cultures; diversity being its core component and concept. Different races, hundreds of language,

tons of historical religious practices, and a rich exotic flavor of mix foods all contribute to the

extensive diversity within the united states (Shelly Taylor, 2006, pp. 196-193).
