America isn't just a geographical location, or a mass of 330 million people living within a set of lines drawn on a map. America is the story it tells itself about itself.

Geneticist and cultural commentator Razib Khan shares how America's rich, complicated, and multi-ethnic history is at risk of being flattened by modern narratives.
