As is universally acknowledged, the United States has often been called “a nation of immigrants”. Under the great influence of immigration, there have been many great changes based on racial integration in all aspects of the United States, especially the aspect of culture. This article mainly focuses on five ethnic groups which take the largest percentage of the total number of population in America, analyzing their contribution to the American culture. In the end, the paper will give a further conclusion, summarizing the contributions and ways about ethnic groups to the American culture.
