Is America a Multi-Racial Democracy?

I don't know how to answer it either, except I guess I could try this. On the one hand, America has always been a multi-racial country because we've always had black people since before the Declaration of Independence. We've always had Jews and Muslims. And then very quickly, you know, in the earliest days of the 19th century, we had immigration from all over the world, including enormous amounts of Chinese immigration. You know, we all know the Chinese immigrants played an extremely important role in the development of California, the railroads.
