I wonder if you'd feel the same in Brazil, if you'd say "Everything there was just so Brazilian" when there is no such thing as "Brazilian" without the necessary multi ethnic aspect. It's a country without ethnic enclaves but instead a culture that is very much a mix of all.

You don't have to be exclusively one race to be a unique country. The US just hasn't achieved a blended culture, but it doesn't mean it's not possible.

You don't. You also dont have to NOT be a homogenous country to be a unique country. Or you dont event have to be unique to be a country.

Bhutan doesn't get as much flack for strict migration policies.

Bhutan is for almost all effects an autonomous state in India, making it part of a larger heterogenous country.

If they wanted to be a more independent country with an independent economy they'd need to revise some of their policies.
