I'd say in comparison to a lot of other Western cultures we are pretty diverse - having been around in Europe, while racism is perhaps much more subtle and not nearly as violent here, the population definitely tends to be much more homogenous. I think it probably comes down to the fact that there is no such thing as ethnically American unless you're Native American, whereas other countries have a strong sense of ethnic nationality.
