    Americans like to adopt foods or cooking techniques from other cultures

    It’s not “americans” (as in people whose families have lived there for a few generations), it’s immigrants who brought their culture and then adapted it to the locals. You can find this in almost every country.

      The definitionition of “American” is pretty flexible. If you move here, live here, and want to consider yourself an American, then you are an American. Some loud zealots may say otherwise (typical in any country) but most Americans literally do not think about this at all.

      I mean Chinese and Mexican people have been in America for almost two centuries. I’m usually the first one to shit on Americans, but at this point Chinese-American stuff and Tex-Mex are theirs.
