What Makes an American?

I think a typical American would be someone who is in the middle class, watches baseball, eats fast food, ect. I think being an American is very different from most cultures in the world. I also think being an American is having rights such as freedom of speech, and equality no matter sex, race, religion. there are a lot of freedoms that americans have, which are sometimes taken for granten because in some countries there is not freedom of speech, and people can not speak against their governments. Also being an American means diversity of different races and cultures.
