Absolutely. The U.S. is a strange place - where the people you mentioned would not necessarily consider themselves part of the same culture, a "black culture" is thrust upon them. So, at some point, it becomes your culture (or at least part of what you consider yourself.)
This is also what makes it difficult to be anything but white in the U.S. As the demographics in this country change over the next few years, it will be VERY interesting to see how we relate to our accepted culture, our assumed culture and other cultures.

It will be interesting. Especially as the minority groups grow. I was watching the news the other day and they said that Latinos are the fastest growing minority population in America and that 1 out of every 7 people is Latino/a. You can already see how it changes politics..look at the increase of minorities in power. It will only serve to help our country to get the input of all groups to make the government truly of the people.
