Me? Not. I don't live in a country of immigrants, former slaves and sons of their slavers. I live in Russia which is Russia for more than 1000 years (my city Moscow is 870 year old... only officially). We didn't have slavery, immigration as a core of nation etc. On the other hand, the USA was made by immigrants for immigrants. This makes a huge difference. Isn't it?
P.S. I don't want to say that Russia has (had) no immigrants. Course it was and is (yet by now). But it was (as a country) created by Russians. We have never had slavery here. Do you know what the most ever super duper mega popular Russian poet was black? The most famous and respected person here (a czar has loved him as a son) was... black. Pushkin is his name (go google for him).
