Actually, America was founded on Nationalist principles. Our immigration laws limited non-white immigration so that America retained a strong white majority, and that didn't change until 1965.
The "melting pot" myth was created, unsurprisingly, by a Jew.
Jews come from many different ethnic groups and their common link is religion.
If a Jew doesn't believe in Judaism, that Jew is still considered a Jew by the Jewish community. Contrast this to other religions. If a Christian stops believing in Christianity, he's no longer Christian. Judaism and Christianity are both religions, but the Jews are an ethnic group, and the Christians are a religious group.
Jews don't come from different ethnic groups. They identify as Jews no matter where they live. Sigmund Freud wasn't a Jewish Austrian, he was a Jew living in Austria. That's how the Jewish community sees itself.
