So I hear all these people and the media cry about it being "racist". But i noticed how none of of them(including Vance himself and his supporters) are saying that this statement is wrong or incorrect.

You are forgetting we were an Anglo nation. That was the most core part. Of that protestant Christianity was central, with an allowance for catholics in Maryland.
But everyone anglicized, by learning English and followed an English common law precedent (contrasted to civil or napoleonic code found only in Louisiana).
Everything is downstream of that core belief that we are Anglos. That is why the revolution was based on rights of British people. Even after that, the American identity was knitted closely with the British and explains our cultural proclivity for each other through shared traditions, language, and constitutional tradition.
The monarchy is irrelevant, just like Cromwell showed the English, that they didn't need a monarchy to still be a nation.
Cromwell ruined your argument a bit as thanks to his rule, the English WANTED a monarchy again and even referred to Charles II coming back as 'The great Restoration'
I'm half and half on monarchy. On the one hand there is more inclination to legacy with monarchy, you can have strong leadership and the weak emotionals can't enforce their rules by mob.
On the other, it's a lot easier for one generation to fuck up everything..
I don't know, maybe combine monarchy with a requirement that you need to pass special forces training with NO leniency and only then you get the title of successor.
Just because the possible ideological spread within a race is substantial, doesn't make race unimportant.
It's more like, people wanted monarchy but, they remained English through the transition. If monarchy was requisite for being English, the country would have fallen apart with the monarchy. But instead it flourished under Cromwell in many ways.
