It's currently more mixed than most european nations but it's not much different from something like austria-hungary pre-breakup: dozens of specific isolate populations that are disregarded by the government often speaking different languages or at minimum extremely different dialects (to the point that until the 90's introducing the internet and a new wave of panamericanism there was significant difficulty in anyone even understanding locals if they travel too far away and avoid a central city), and there are a variety of religious differences, as well as both historical and modern genetic drift. If you had an educated european man from the 1200's travel across the modern US, he would think it to be dozens of independent nations. I mean hell, most of europe used to have significant "pan-european" cultures as well; one of the reasons germany has always been so domineering historically is because there used to be germans, ethnic germans, EVERYWHERE in europe, spain, france, italy, scandinavia, the balkans, even up into ukraine, poland, russia. Is that really so different to what we have now in the US with a specific "ethnolinguistic group" (gentrified "americans").
