The actual American nation does not include everyone living in the border of the territory under the political control of the U.S. government.
For example, the Kurds are a nation, but they have no nation-state to protect them.
Therefore they suffer.

You’re not answering my question. Is the US a nation?
By "US", do you specifcally mean the United States of America?
Yes
No, that is a political entity also known as a nation-state.
There are nations with and without their own nation-states.
The Kurds are an example of a nation without a state. The Jews are a nation formerly without one, but now with one since 1948.
Where is the nation of Kurds located?
Can the term race be substituted for nation here?
No.
What is the difference between race and nation when it comes to the Kurds?
Same as it is for any other nation, it's one component in addition to several others.
What is the difference between race and nation when it comes to any other nation?
These questions are becoming increasingly lame and repetitive, just rephrasing the same question.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you don't meet one or more of John Jay's six elements of being an American.
Thus these dumb questions are just a lame attempt to "deconstruct" the concept of a nation, in the best of the gay race communism tradition.
You’re taking yourself in circles. So far you have established that America is not a nation based on a retarded definition. Nice appeal to authority by the way. You can’t articulate the difference between a race and a nation. And you can’t tell me what nation your ancestors belonged to before America.
It feels repetitive and annoying for you because it illustrates the retarded logic you follow and your stubbornness to be right.
You most definitely can change nations. The ancestors of Americans belonged to European nations before they even knew the United States existed. A lot of Americans don’t even remember who their ancestors were or where they came from.
What you stubbornly refuse to admit is that what is referred to by the Kurds and Israelis as “nation,” can also simply be referred to as just their race or ethnic group.
The definition of nation:
a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory.
The definition of country:
a nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory.
The definition of territory:
an area of land under the jurisdiction of a ruler or state.
The definition of nationalism:
identification with one's own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations.
So a nation IS a particular country or territory. A country/territory is unified by a government. And nationalism is identification with that country/territory. What makes it a nation/country/territory IS the government. So nationalism is pride in being ruled by a specific government. It is the preference of your ruler over another ruler. So yes nationalism is Stockholm syndrome. I can’t make it any simpler for you than that.
